A Sense of Culture

We will have a day to celebrate culture from around the world on May 24, 2023! Our day will include an art show, a taste of culture with booths of small bites from different cultures to sample, and cultural activities. Please register to participate in Culture Day 2023.

Spring Break

Our spring break is on Monday, March 20 through Friday, March 31. School resumes on Monday, April 3. Have a safe and enjoyable break!

Fundraising

For the next few years, we will be focusing our fundraising efforts on improving the salaries and benefits of our teachers. Our salary scale is now more than 30% below the public schools' scale, making it extremely challenging for the school to retain and recruit "the best of the best." Accordingly, for the next few years, all fundraising (Annual Fund, Fall Fest, parking spots, and GALA) will focus on improving this situation. 

The Annual Fund runs year-long. Donations can be made online

Enrollment Contracts for 2023-2024

In mid-January, Mrs. Johnson distributed re-enrollment contracts for the 2023-24 school year. If families in PS-7th did not receive their contract electronically, please reach-out to Mrs. Johnson. We will start accepting new families into the school for the 2023-24 school year in early February. We expect the following classes to fill-up quickly: pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, first grade and fifth grade. Accordingly, please be sure to return your signed contract (electronically) and pay the registration fee of $1,000 to reserve your child's seat.

Spring Afterschool Programs

Our afterschool programs continue to expand! For our spring session, we'll be offering the following clubs and activities: art, music, choir, gardening, chess, math support, English support, science support, Spanish, Mandarin, soccer, and sports. The Spring session begins in late January and continues until early May (twelve weeks).
