Middle School Musical, Frozen Junior, February 27 - March 1 Buy tickets here

Enrollment for the 2025-2026 school year begins on Friday, February 7th at 8:00 AM. The enrollment link will go live that morning, and I will send it out in next week’s update. Please remember that we cannot accept any applications before 8:00 AM on Friday. All students must re-enroll. If you have an 8th-grade student, high school enrollment must be completed separately—I will send that link on Friday as well. Current students are guaranteed a spot at either the middle school or high school, but enrollment forms must be submitted by March 14th at 4:00 PM to secure their place. Failure to do so will result in forfeiting their spot.

Additionally, report cards will be mailed out next week. If you have any questions about a specific class, please reach out directly to that teacher. Questions regarding Social Emotional Learning (SEL) standards or Project-Based Learning (PBL) standards should be directed to your student’s advisory teacher.

As always, thank you for your continued support! Please let me know if you have any questions.
