📚 The countdown is on—just 38 days until students on our traditional calendar return to school on Monday, August 24!

As we prepare for the 2026–27 school year, families are asked to complete their student’s Beginning of Year Information Update. This update is not required for newly enrolled students.

Keeping contact and emergency information current helps ensure a safe, smooth and successful start from day one.

We can’t wait to welcome our students back! 🚌✏️🏫
