2021-2022 Start Up Information

Hello All! 

We are so excited for the new school year - it will be the 100th year of schooling on site.

Here is some fall start-up information:

1) Homeroom Postcards will be mailed around August 15. Students should receive a postcard from their teacher shortly after with information about their homeroom, classroom, and start date.

2) Get the Scoop / Open House / Meet the Teacher is scheduled for August 30, 1-3 pm. Families are welcome to drop by the school to meet teachers, drop off supplies, and grab a bowl of ice cream. Families that pre-ordered school supplies can pick up at this time.

3) School Supply Lists can be found here.

4) 2021/2022 School Calendars can be found here.

5) We will have a staggered start to begin the year:

Students will typically be placed in Cohort A with A-K last names and and Cohort B with L-Z last names. A few students have been placed in the opposite cohort to ensure more even splits. Please check with the school if you are unsure which cohort to attend.
