Welcome
Dear Parents,
I hope and pray that you, your children and your families are safe and well. I want to thank all of you for your trust and support. We have faced many challenges over these past sixteen months and I'm sure there's more to come. Please continue to rely on our teachers, staff and me. We will do whatever we need to do to support you and your children.
We are all very excited about our return with ALL our students, beginning WEDNESDAY 8 SEPTEMBER. I am so pleased we could provide all students with Chromebooks and at no cost to our families this year. We continue to look for ways to help you. There will be some exciting changes, but there will always be the exceptional education program you have come to expect from us. Thank you to those many families that pay their tuition in a timely fashion. Your sacrifices are never taken for granted. (I remind your children about how much you do for them!) Please be sure to apply for financial aid for the coming year.
Registration for new students for next year is now underway. We will have room for new students in almost all grades. If you know any families interested in quality education for their children, please refer them to us. If you refer a new family that registers, you will receive a $250 tuition credit!
I will continue to post news here and upload documents from the Superintendent and other officials in the WEDNESDAY FOLDER. I will also use the IRIS alert system to send you phone and text messages and e-mails. Looking forward to seeing all of you come September.
You are all in my prayers. Please keep me in yours.
God bless us all!
Sincerely,
Robert W. Billings
