8. Open House
Our Open House this past Thursday went very well. Five families showed up and are very interested - some still for this year but most for next year. We would like to thank Jim, Trisha and Rachel Gance for the delicious treats they brought to the Open House and Kris Kuchenbrod, Jake and Emma Ciafone for attending and helping us set up and host our guests. Thanks, additionally to Jim and Trisha and to Diane and Bill Henry who have continued to help us in our marketing efforts which have proven very fruitful. Our next Open House will be in mid to late April. We will keep you posted.

9. Dress Code
A friendly reminder, we do have and enforce our dress code. Some students have been “pushing the limits” on this. Parents, please do all that you can to have your child meet our standards. They are in your Student Handbook. Students cannot wear jeans other than on Fridays. Sweat pants and athletic shorts are also allowed on Fridays – ONLY. Students are not allowed to wear sports shirts of any kind any day of the week. This falls under the “no writing on clothing.”

10. Cleaning Fee
A friendly reminder… Some of you are still not including your monthly cleaning fee with your tuition payments. It was set since December, to cover professional cleaning once a week from December through May. It is $60 total, per student. You can include $10 per tuition payment per student or pay it all at once. Please help us in this matter so we don’t have to come in over the weekend to scrub toilets. J


Thank you and have a great weekend!
