It’s hard to believe, but the first day of school is just around the corner—less than two weeks away! I hope your summer has been filled with relaxation, fun, and meaningful time with family and friends. Please take a few minutes to review this first newsletter of the year so that you are in the loop and have the information you need to successfully prepare for the year.

We are so excited to welcome our students and families back to campus! Our team has been working hard behind the scenes to prepare for an incredible year of learning, growth, and community connection.

The first day of school is Wednesday, August 6th. The gates open at 8:00 a.m. and classes begin at 8:10 a.m. More information regarding the start of school is forthcoming.

We look forward to seeing you at Walk-Through Registration next Thursday, July 31st, with two convenient time options:

This annual event is an important opportunity to update your child’s health information, emergency contacts, and address (if you've moved) before the year begins. Please note that our school office will be closed during registration hours as our staff will be supporting the event.

Our office is currently open, and Mrs. Long, our wonderful administrative assistant, is available to assist you Monday through Friday from 8:00–11:30 a.m. and 12:30–4:00 p.m. To ensure you get the help you need, especially as we approach the start of school, we recommend scheduling an appointment ahead of time.

If you’d like to connect with me directly, feel free to email me—we can find a time to meet in person, by phone, or via video.

More updates and exciting announcements are on the way soon! In the meantime, please make sure to complete your online registration through the Aeries Parent Portal. You'll find helpful information and step-by-step instructions below.

Let’s make this school year our best one yet! We can’t wait to see you all soon.

In Partnership,
