See You Next Year!


This is our final newsletter of the school year.

We will return again in August! Next year, communication will be coming from our new system ParentSquare. You can expect a new design and layout.


Friday, June 6 marked the last day of school for our K–12 students – and our Instagram and Facebook reel from Peter Hobart Elementary blew up!


With over 80,000 views on Instagram, the video captured the electric energy of a live DJ sending students into summer with joy, laughter and a whole lot of dancing.


Huge thanks to all of our schools for celebrating students with fantastic send-offs and fun activities.
