Principal's Corner
Dear Parents,
I hope this letter finds you happy, healthy and safe. I miss seeing you and your beautiful children! I wanted to ensure you that we are a family and we will be here for each other in the ups and downs. I have seen our amazing teachers go above and beyond to ensure that your children are learning. They are tackling the challenges before them with perseverance and excitement. Their positive attitude and growth mindset are both things they have employed since the beginning of the school year. They are leading by example how to face different experiences or roadblocks with resilience and confidence. Albert Einstein said, “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think!”  I believe that this is the gift that is being given to us right now. Please remember to stay in touch with your teacher. We are partners in the education and well-being of your children. Thank you for your continual support of our school and our mission!

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.” Colossians 3:15

2020-21 Re-enrollment and Registration Update
Re-enrollment and registration for the 2020-21 school year is currently in process.

The first step was returning your contract and Smart Tuition form. If you have not returned your forms yet, please do so by either faxing them, mailing them, or emailing them to either Kelly Bremner or Yolanda Bellgardt.

The second step to re-enrollment was to complete registration online via a snapcode email.

This week we sent out an email giving some families a friendly reminder that online registration needs to be completed. Please check your email if you have not started online enrollment.

If you have a sibling on the list to be enrolled for the next school year, we will be getting in touch with you on the next steps in enrolling a new student.

Please contact Kelly HERE or Yolanda HERE by email if you have any concerns or questions regarding re-enrollment for your returning student or on enrolling a sibling.

Art Fair Postponed

Attention middle school artists! The installation of Altrusa will need to be postponed to a later date. The Art Center will do everything possible to work out an effective time for students and staff to have their exhibition. However, at this point, the security and well-being of their members; students, staff and exhibition participants are their top priority.

I encourage middle school students to start or continue creating art for the exhibit! Feel free to reach out to me by email  HERE  for design ideas, tips or feedback during the creative process!

Just take a picture of your artwork using a cell phone and attach it to an email. I look forward to seeing your artwork! Click below for additional information.
