Day School Community Highlights
With Day School
'
s transition to Continuous Enrollment, this year will be the first without paper contracts. More information will be provided at Step Up Night and a follow-up email that will include links to the Terms & Conditions and a webform to select optional fees and update family contact information. We are excited for the 2018-19 school year and assume your family is returning unless you have already notified us or email Karen Chatmon to opt out of Continuous Enrollment. As several grades have a waiting list, opting out of Continuous Enrollment confirms we are not holding a spot for your student(s).
Gala Basket Donations Due March 23
The Manhattan Nights gala (April 14th) is the biggest event of the year! You can help make the event successful by contributing items for gala baskets. These baskets, which raise thousands of dollars for the school, will be auctioned off that night. Each grade has been assigned a gala basket theme. Grades 9-12 have been combined into one Upper School basket. Drop off items with your classroom teacher or at the Front Office. Don't forget - the funds we raise at the gala support Day School's academic programs, faculty-led initiatives, and classroom enhancements. We need everyone to pitch in and help. Questions? Contact Leah Whitaker in the Advancement Office.
