Dear Fifth Grade Families,
It’s that time of year – preparing for the Grade 5 Closing Celebration and saying goodbye to your children’s years in the Lower School. Whether this is their first year at Academy or if they started in PreK seven years ago, this is a time to celebrate and look forward to Middle School!
The Grade 5 Closing Celebration will take place on Friday, June 3, at 9:00 a.m. The location of the ceremony on campus is still being finalized. Students need to meet in their homeroom classes no later than 8:30 a.m. Family members are welcome to attend. Immediately following the celebration, there will be a reception hosted by the school in our dining hall and its outdoor patio area.
Please complete this form no later than Monday, April 18, that shows how you wish for your child’s name to be printed on the certificate and read at the ceremony.

-
BOYS should wear dress pants (no shorts), dress shoes (no sneakers) and button-down shirts with both ties and sports jackets optional.
