Dear Families,
On April 22nd, we invite ALL current parents to Calverton’s An Evening at The Barn event to join in mingling with fellow parents, friends, and teachers at The Barn at Pleasant Acres in St. Leonard.
This festive event marks Calverton’s biggest fundraiser and community builder – and this year’s special paddle raise initiative will be centered on raising funds to invest in new teacher professional development programs. We are so fortunate to have educators dedicated to each student’s success and growth at Calverton, and what better way to demonstrate our appreciation than by expanding the resources and tools to ensure their professional and lifelong learning.
By raising a paddle for our teachers on April 22nd, we will be impacting each of Calverton’s 320 learners! So come out for the fellowship, the fabulous fare, and the fun -- all in support of our amazing school!
Details for the event and how to purchase a ticket can be found below or HERE.
I look forward to seeing you at The Barn!
Jamey Hein
Head of School

The Calverton School is pleased to announce we have implemented a new college guidance management system called Scoir (pronounced "score"). This new, modern online system will streamline the process of requesting, processing, sending, and tracking the electronic delivery of all application-related documents. More importantly, it's much more helpful for students and parents during the college search and selection process.
