Percy's Blog - Learning on the Edge
As part of our faculty professional development system, I conduct a series of formal observations of teachers throughout the school year. These formal observations, and the informal drop-ins that accompany them, offer a window into our teachers' work with your children, the preparation that goes into crafting an engaging lesson, and the high level of expertise and professionalism that our teachers bring to their work. At a K - 8 school, I am exposed to students' working through various academic challenges, from early literacy skills to complex geometric proofs. At times one can forget how difficult it can be to acquire, process, synthesize, and incorporate new material. To read more of Pcrcy's Blog, click here. |

Financial Aid 2012-13
Financial Aid for the 2012-2013 School Year:
In order to apply for aid, you must file an online application through the FAST (Financial Aid for School Tuition) system and you must mail to FAST a copy of your complete 2011 tax returns. If you are divorced, separated or never married, please be aware that each parent must file a separate FAST application and each parent must submit a copy of his or her complete 2011 tax returns to FAST.
Families who completed their FAST applications by February 15th and mailed in their 2011 tax returns to FAST by February 24th will be considered for the first round of financial aid awards (the round in which the bulk of our financial aid budget is awarded). Families who complete their financial aid process after these dates will be considered for awards on a rolling basis, until the funds in our financial aid budget are exhausted. Please contact Rima in the Business Office at x 308 if you have any questions.
