Dear Community,
So, Winter is here! Thanks for bundling your bundles so they could take full advantage of the few days of snow. I do love the change of seasons!
On to another season: Ex-Missions season is winding down. Letters from independent schools will arrive next Thursday, February 8th and decisions will be finalized by the following Thursday by noon on February 15th when contracts and deposits are due. Attached is some advice to help you through this phase. Please be sure to email me the results, let me know your decisions so I can help with Wait Lists, etc.
Please see the attached bits of guidance and advice.
The Admissions season for our school continues for another month, finalizing on March 7th. Thanks for sending in your Re-enrollment forms so we know how many new families we can welcome in the fall. They are due by Thursday, February 15th.
