Busy Times in the Lower School
In the next two and a half weeks we will have a number of events taking place on campus. More specific details are posted below, along with a summary on the Upcoming Important Dates section of this update. We encourage all families to join us to celebrate some of the great learning that has taken place this last trimester!
News From the Library
We are very proud of the many books that have been read by our students this year! We are working to get the library ready for the end of the school year and would greatly appreciate your help in getting all materials returned. (We currently have 1,317 items checked out of the library, with 390 overdue.) All library resources are due June 2. Please help your children to look for missing items. We will consider items not returned by June 2 lost and will send out fine notices. Fees for materials not returned or paid for will be added to your son or daughter's tuition fees.
Students who have everything turned in will have the option of checking out books for the vacation (up to 10 books total per family) on their last library class of the year. If you are looking for suggestions to read together over the break, Dr. Purcell has created a list of books organized by category and approximate interest levels. Click HERE. Happy Reading!
Volunteer Recognition Breakfast
Next Friday, June 9th from 8:15-9:30 we will celebrate our amazing volunteers! If you have volunteered in the Lower School in any way (in class, for a special event, or anything other activity to support Graded) please join us to be recognized. The event will take place in our new Student Center.
Fifth Grade Moving On Ceremony
On Tuesday, June 13th we will recognize our fifth grade students as they complete their final year in the Lower School. The ceremony will begin at 5:00 in the auditorium, with a social in the Student Center at 6:00, followed by a movie under the stars on the field at 7:00 where students will sit with their families (we will move to the Black Box Theatre in case of inclement weather). Families are asked to bring blankets and warm clothes. We look forward to celebrating this important event with all our fifth grade students and families!
Last Day of School Dismissal Time
It is hard to believe we are already thinking about the last day of school for the 2016-17 school year, but it is just around the corner! You may have noticed last week that the dismissal time on Wednesday, June 14th is 11:30. School buses will leave at 11:45 on that day.
