We are now offering free tutoring for students in grades 3-7. Classes are twice a week, from 3-4:30p. Please contact the school office with questions.

Band will be available for students entering grades 3-8 and will meet on Mondays. Mr. Levitt and I have worked it out so the annual fee will be only $400 which includes instrument rental. This is a lot better than the previous price which was close to $700. The fee will be added to your SMART tuition account ($50 a month for 8 months) so no extra arrangements need to be made. The available instruments are flute, clarinet, trumpet and drums. If you’d like to purchase an instrument please contact Mr. Levitt at [email protected] Please let us know if you would like your child to join. The earlier the better as we’d like to get an idea of how many instruments will be needed. No fee or paperwork is required. Last year we had our biggest group ever! Our goal is to have a Christmas concert this year as well as a spring concert. We’d also like to have the students do one performance out of school. Please email me or Mr. Levitt with any questions.
