Construction continues on our new residential building. Construction remains on schedule for a mid-fall move, but we will update families if there are any changes. As a reminder, incoming III Formers and returning students who selected the new residential building during the housing lottery will be temporarily housed on West Campus or Main Campus until the completion of the new building. Temporary housing assignments will be shared in August. Incoming IV and V Formers will be housed in the Main Building or Thieriot and will not move. Housing and residential questions may be directed to Ms. Caron, dean of student engagement.

New Student Email Access
Email login credentials will be available on Monday, August 1. Please watch for an email from the Admission Office with the subject line, "St. Mark's School - Confirm your email." That email will have a link to the St. Mark's admission online contract portal that you received when you were accepted.
Students, please log in to the contract portal as soon as possible with your personal email address that the notification is sent to. Once you are in the contract portal, view the form "Student Login Credentials" to find your St. Mark's email address, password, and related technology information.
Please note that only students will receive the email notification with the link as the credentials form is only viewable by students; it is not viewable when logging into the portal with a parent email.
