SMART Tuition
Thank you to all the Armstrong families as we work together to transition to SMART tuition, our new tuition billing and online payment system. This new system will provide families with easy visibility into their Armstrong tuition and non-tuition payments, and will significantly improve the efficiency of the Armstrong business office. All payments this upcoming school year will be through this system, so please make sure you are registered using the following steps.
2.
Click on "First time user?" in the green box
3.
To find your account, you will need two of the following:
- email address used to set up Smart account
- telephone number entered at account setup
- Family ID that was assigned at account setup
Please keep in mind that any payments due for the current school year should still be paid directly to Armstrong. We are here to help you if you need any assistance. If you have any tuition billing questions, contact Madonna Uyenoyama at (650) 592-7570 ext. 1228 or email muyenoyama@charlesarmstrong.org.

Counselors Corner
Thirteen Reasons Why
: What You Need To Know About a Popular Netflix Series Geared Towards Teens
From: Colleen Reuter and Nicholas Peruzzaro
Dear Armstrong Families,
We wanted to bring a pop-culture related topic to your attention. Recently, a new popular TV series became available to view on Netflix. The series is titled Thirteen Reasons Why. This series is geared towards teens and includes some disturbing and sensitive material. The show is directed toward a teenage audience and is not meant as light entertainment for teens to watch independent of an adult. As a community, we recognize that some of our students may have heard about the show. We also realize that many of our families have teenage children who have either seen this series, or are interested in viewing it.
Thirteen Reasons Why
chronicles the story of a teenage girl who has committed suicide. While the story is intended to help parents engage in conversation with their child surrounding some difficult teen issues like bullying, suicide, depression, etc. the show's content may be upsetting and confusing for many viewers. The content may be beyond what some adolescents are able to emotionally process.
Check to see if your child has seen Thirteen Reasons Why. If they have, ask them to process the show with you. What was the show about? What messages stuck out to them? What concerns or questions do they have about the content?
We value your continued partnership in bringing awareness to this sensitive and mature topic.
Warm Regards,
Colleen & Nicholas
