High School Information Sessions 🎓
Get ready to plan for high school.
Join us for our information sessions to learn about academics, programs, extracurriculars, and how to successfully transition to high school.
All current 8th graders and their families are invited.
Teaching children to immerse themselves in a good book is one of the most valuable things you can do as a parent. A childhood love of reading sets the stage for success as an adult. A child who loves reading will have an inquiring mind, a vivid imagination, and great problem-solving skills. Set some time aside to do some reading with your kids this week and inspire a lifelong love of the written word.
