Administrative Information
Upcoming Elternbriefe

Welcome to the first Elternbrief of the 2017-18 year! Elternbriefe are our main mode of communicating important information to our families. We will be sending summer Elternbriefs to help prepare you for the fast-approaching school year on August 3 and August 17, as well. Please be sure to check your email inbox for these upcoming Elternbrief editions, as they will contain important information for getting a great start to the new year! 

Once the school year resumes on August 28, we will send weekly Elternbrief messages each Thursday. Our Elternbrief newsletters are our main mode of disseminating information with families. We ask that families be sure to review the Elternbrief on a regular basis.
