Saturday Day School for the 2025-26 school year

We’re excited to offer Saturday School as an opportunity for students to make up missed school days. Attending Saturday School allows your student to recover lost instructional time and avoid chronic absenteeism, all in a supportive and structured environment.

If your student has any unexcused or excessive absences, this is a great way to stay on track academically and maintain good attendance

For Parents

Welcome to our school! We believe that parent participation is key to student success; our new website is designed to provide parents with all the information they need to be active participants in their student’s education. You will find that the site works just as well on mobile devices as it does on a desktop so you can find information on the go.
