We’ll meet for lunch at the mid-mountain restaurant. (Time to be decided.) There is NO school for those of you who do not want to attend. However, the reason we take the time to go skiing is for the sake of taking time to do something fun with our families and friends.

Please let us know if you plan on attending so that we may look for you and make sure you got there safely.

1. Middle School Field Trip
The middle school fieldtrip to the American Mountaineering Museum and the National Earthquake Information Center went very well. We all had a great time.

If you did not send the $3 admission fee for the Mountaineering Museum with your student, please do so this week. Thank you.

7. Snack Box
As some of you may know, we have a snack box in the office. The proceeds go to charity (Mount Saint Vincent). However, we are always short on money paid and full of I.O.U.’s with no name on them. Out of 62+ dollars per box, we were $40 short on our last box and are another $40 short in our current box. Some people said they would pay their overdue amounts for the last box, but they still have not. Please encourage your students to pay for what they’ve consumed. If we pay for what we’ve consumed, we will receive a better selection of snacks. If we are short again, we will have to remove the snack box. L


Thank you and have a great weekend!

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!
