  • The calendar

    The school year month by month, with the days the school is closed and the year’s events on their dates. Subscribe to it, or print it.

  • News

    Board updates, fundraisers and notices, newest first — including the ones that have dropped off the front page.

  • Policies and the handbook

    Every policy the school publishes, each with what it is and when it was last updated. The handbook carries the fee schedule and the payment dates.

The Calendar

The year is on the calendar, month by month — open houses, concerts and picture days on their dates, the days the school is closed, and what meets on each class day. There is one file to download or subscribe to, and the page prints as the year’s dated list. For every date a particular class meets, see that class’s own page.

A subscribed calendar refreshes on your phone’s own schedule, so if something changes at short notice the school will say so on WhatsApp. Anything else, ask us.

How the School Reaches You

Closings, cancellations and anything else at short notice go out on WhatsApp, and families here are asked to be on it. It is free, it is easy to use, and it is what schools like ours have found works — but it is also the one place the school announces a closing, so a family that is not on it is a family the school cannot reach on the morning it matters.

There is nothing to join from this page. The school sends your family the invitation once you are enrolled, and announcements come from the school rather than from anybody’s personal number.
