Friendly Reminders

  • Please turn in all athletic uniforms from fall sports ASAP.  Many are still outstanding.

  • Thank you for insisting your child(ren) wear coats/jackets on days when the weather is below 40 degrees. Students go out for recess no matter how cold it is and we have many children going outside without the appropriate clothing. 

  • A reminder that students will be bringing home their warm-weather change of clothes and should return on MONDAY following Thanksgiving with a cold-weather change of clothes. 

  • PICTURE DAY photos were sent home this past week. Please check student backpacks to ensure receipt. Contact Tracy Ward with any questions.

  • Missing anything? Our Lost and Found boxes are filling up. The Middle School Lost and Found is located in the front office. The Lower School one is in front of Extended Day on the lower level of Hubbard Hall. PLEASE label all coats and student items so that if lost, they can be easily returned to your student. 
    • Click HERE for a quick video of Lower School lost and found items. See anything that is yours?
