School Office Hours

The school office is open during the summer from 9am - 2pm each weekday. If you need to drop something off at the school outside of these times, you may deposit it into the secure mail drop box to the left of the main doors.

 

New Staff Members!

I am happy to announce that Julie Thoensen, the pre-kindergarten instructional assistant for the first three years of our program has been hired to be our new pre-kindergarten teacher. She is looking forward to continuing and building up on the outstanding program that she and Mary Davis have built.

Dan Sarlitto, who taught a variety of middle school subjects (including science, math and religion) will be taking over 5 out of the six science classes in middle school next year (8th, 7th, and one 6th). Science is his real passion and he is excited to be concentrating in this field.

Marissa Ward will be joining us to teach math to our middle school students. She comes to us from five years of teaching at the Catholic high school in Reno, Nevada and eight years of math teaching before that, including teaching math to college students. Marissa is a native of Washington, having attended both All Saints School in Puyallup and Bellarmine Prep in Tacoma.

Summer Math and Reading

The summer vacation is about half over now, which means there are plenty of glorious days of rest ahead. But it also means that it is important to stay up to date on your child's summer math and reading work. These programs are designed to help keep your child's skills sharp over the summer so that he or she can start the new school year ready to learn.
