From the Principal’s Office

March’s CLEAR Focus:  We Are Lifelong Learners.

Dear Families, 


Our Spring Fundraiser is coming to a close. Please get all those orders in! 


In this newsletter, you will find a record of your hours, including the requirements for participating in the fundraising. If our records don’t match yours, please correct the sheet and send it to Kathy Heisick at the office. All parents are required by your tuition contract to participate in our Parent Service Program and our Fall and Spring fundraisers. Any “opt-out” or non-participation fees must be cleared before re-registration. 


Thank you for your careful attention to your participation record. 


Please see the BACK of this newsletter for additional important announcements. 


Sincerely, 


Lynne Kennedy Mullen

Principal
