ONLINE ADMISSIONS, ENROLLMENT & RE-ENROLLMENT are now open. To access this through your family portal, just log in as normal, Along the left-hand side of the homepage, scroll down to the last option “Apply/Enroll”, click on ENROLLMENT/RE-ENROLLMENT and follow prompts from there. If you have a new student (for example, a new preschooler) click on “APPLICATION”, and follow the prompts from there. If you have any questions about online re-enrollment, please contact Rosie in the office.

 FINAL BILLS: As we get closer to the end of the school year, please pay close attention to any statements, billings, etc that are sent out. Also, if your child has any items missing, for example, uniforms, chromebook charging cords, textbooks, you will be charged for those. Final grade cards, 8th grade diplomas, and finalized re-enrollment, will be held until all fees are paid in full, unless otherwise arranged through contact with Mr. Akin & Father Cal.

SHIRT ORDER FORMS for the upcoming school year are in today’s folder. If you place your order, with payment, before the end of the school year, your items will be available at the Open House on Saturday, August 14th. By popular demand, we will be including a new logo on the back of the spirit wear and hoodie, which will include the Cougar emblem. Just a reminder that you will be receiving one collared polo, which is covered through your registration fees.

FIELD TRIP PLANS:

·          CHANGE OF PLANS: DUE TO THE LARGE NUMBER OF PARENTS GOING ON THESE TRIPS, WE ARE ASKING ALL PARENTS/STUDENTS TO MEET AT SCHOOL ON THESE MORNINGS, SO THAT WE CAN GET ATTENDANCE ON OUR STUDENTS AND GO OVER EXPECTATIONS. WE WILL THEN CARAVAN TO JEFFERSON CITY. THIS WILL HELP AVOID CONFUSION AT THE FIRST EVENT.

·          DRESS CODE for both trips: Collared school logo shirt, khaki pants or shorts, denim jeans or shorts, No athletic/gym shorts. No spirit shirts, etc.

·          Many thanks to all who offered to drive for the field trips. We only had a handful of students who needed transportation, so if you didn’t get a driver’s form last week, you will be transporting only your own student(s).

·          PLEASE remember the use of masks throughout the day will be required in some instances for parents and students, so please make sure that you have one available.

·          For the older students’ trip on May 7th, a VALID MO. ID will be required for ALL ADULTS entering the facility (not just drivers!); you will not be allowed in without it.

·          We are enclosing a revised itinerary in today’s folder.
