Weekly Folder
The Weekly Folder is a way for the school to keep the parents up-to-date with weekly happenings, changes in the lunch menus, changes in the school schedule, or other matters that the parents need to know. This page will be updated when there is a new Weekly Note. A copy of the Parent Note on that can be read with Adobe Acrobat is also linked here.

Payment of School Fees
Tuition Payments Are Now Overdue – Please Pay Immediately
Please be aware that all tuition payments were due in full by April 15th. We still have families that have outstanding balances for the 2008 – 2009 school year. Unless arrangements have been made, these payments are now overdue! Please make sure that these balances are paid in full immediately. All registrations for next year and report cards are on hold until arrangements have been made. This also holds true for any overdue payments for Extended Care.
If you have not yet turned in the 2008-2009 Tuition Agreement and Extended Care Registration that were sent home several weeks ago, they need to be completed and sent back to the office with the registration fee(s) immediately. Please remember that we need separate checks for these forms and remember to complete and sign the back of the Tuition Agreement.
Lunch Account Balances
Please make sure that your lunch accounts are paid up in full. You can add up how many lunches your child(ren) will have the rest of the school year and pay in full along with any outstanding balance you may already have. (Grades k-5 $1.85 and Grades 6-8 $2.00). Any unpaid balances will result in no report cards. If you have any questions please contact Paula at 486-1860.
