2023 Summer Update for Your Student

June 6, 2023
Dear Parents, As the school year has come to a close, we hope that all our families are looking forward to the exciting summer activities that await their children. However, we kindly remind parents to ensure that their child continues working in their Paces, particularly those still working on finishing the school year. Any additional reading and math exercises will be beneficial in supporting your child's education. The IOWA test results should be completed soon. Once we receive the results, a copy, along with your child's report card will be sent. It's always important to stay on top of your child's education, and we hope these results will provide valuable insight into their academic growth. PLEASE NOTE: If there are any outstanding payments for the 2022-2023 school year, you must settle them immediately. Ensuring the timely settlement of outstanding payments is critical for maintaining a current account with our school. We urge parents to prioritize this matter to avoid any potential disruptions to their child's education. We will not be releasing any new Paces, allowing any further testing, or processing paperwork until all accounts are settled. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us maintain a balanced budget. Have a safe and blessed summer!
