Our school calendar is all ready for the 2023-24 school year! Click to see the English version and the Spanish version. A couple changes to note for next year: Upper School Kick-Off will be for both Upper school parents and students next year! Picture Day will now be earlier in September. We also split Parent Involvement Day to be Upper and Lower School specific. Summer Session will also end before the 4th of July! Thanks! We’re excited for what’s to come!

If your child misses school, please call or email the Main Office with the reason for your child’s absence.

Also, if you need to change your child’s transportation plans for the end of the day, please contact the Main Office BEFORE 3 pm. That way we can ensure your student ends up in the right place. Thank you!

End of Day pick-up:  

• Wait along the street on Park Ave and E. 22nd Streets.  

• If you use the east side of Park Ave, please come across the street to pick up your child. 
• Teachers will deliver your student to you in your vehicle.  
• For safety reasons, we will not release students to parents who are parked in the bike lane. Please do not double park in the bike lane. 
• Do not park in the 22nd Street cul-de-sac. It makes it difficult for turn-arounds, and it is unsafe for children to walk across the cul-de-sac.  
• If you are not there by 4:30, your student will be brought to the office to wait for you at the Chicago Ave (Main) door. 

Do not go to these places:  

• Do not park in the 22nd Street cul-de-sac. It makes it difficult for turn-arounds, and it is unsafe for children to walk across the cul-de-sac.

• 24th Street parking lot (by Teen Challenge entrance)

In the mornings, students dropped off before 9:30 will be sent to Before School Care Program (and charged). Parents may bring their children to the Gym entrance between 9:30-9:45, where they will be supervised until the doors open at 9:30. If they come to the main/front doors between 9:30-9:45, they will be sent to Before School Care Program (and will charged). If a Lower School student (not enrolled in after care) is not picked up by 4:45 pm they will be sent to after school care and billed $10 for every 15 minutes late.
