Conferences today will be in classrooms. We look forward to meeting with you to discuss the progress of your child.
Graceful Evening, our annual dinner-auction fundraiser, is coming soon. The evening is always more enjoyable when sitting with friends, plus the cost is reduced when you have a full table. Ticket sales close in just 3 weeks. Take time now to get some friends together for this wonderful event.
Look for an email later today regarding re-enrollment for next school year.

Childcare will be available during conferences.
Children must be signed in and out, but there is no charge for daycare for a parent attending conferences. Regular daycare today will be from 11:30am until 6:00pm.
Please be sure to check the lost and found tables near the school office. Any items not claimed by noon tomorrow will be put into the donation bin.
Variable Tuition –
Any family that feels they may not be able to afford the full tuition amount for next school year should apply for Variable Tuition. Families that complete the application by February 15 will have their Enrollment Fee reduced by $35. You don’t need your 2019 taxes completed to apply, so this weekend might be a good time to get started on the application. More information on Variable Tuition can be found here.

DESSERT DASH-
Dessert Dash is a fun and fast-paced activity at A Graceful Evening and we need your help! Instead of just being served a typical dessert to end the meal, Grace likes to liven things up and raise money for our wonderful school at the same time. For those of you not familiar with the Dessert Dash, each table at A Graceful Evening bids a certain amount and then once numbers are tallied, the table with the highest bid gets to go first (then second highest and so on) and chooses one person to "dash" to the dessert table and gets first pick of the options, but those second and third tables will be right on their heels (
they call it a dash for a reason
). This is where you come in. We obviously want everyone to attend A Graceful Evening, but we know sometimes that is not possible, so this is a way for those who cannot attend to still participate in the evening! We need at least 25 desserts (12 portions) to make sure we have one per table. We would like a wide variety of home baked and bakery/store bought. All desserts need to be delivered to the Nineteenth Century Club on Saturday, March 14th between 12:30 - 2:30 pm (if this is not possible, please let us know). Please sign up here:
