Dear Parents,

I do want to remind you of the importance of compleng the registraon process for yourchildren before the deadline date of May 22nd. PowerSchool closes on that date, and our as-

sumpon will be that a student who has not registered by then is leaving at the end of the

school year. We have many applicants at every Grade level on our Waing List, and on May

25th we shall begin the process of oering all available slots. As I am sure you understand, for

those people relocang to the Philippines, their plans are on hold unless and unl they have

guaranteed places in school for their children.

If you know already that you are deparng in June, please inform Admissions of this as soon

as possible. By doing so, you are making life much easier for incoming families. The deadline

for informing us of your planned departure is May 22nd. Please note that past pracce is that

those who let us know they are leaving aer this date will forfeit $1000 of their Facilies Up-

grade Deposit.

The school year is galloping toward the nishing line, and we are looking forward to examina-

ons, performances and graduaons. I hope these next seven weeks bring your children all

that they hope for.

Best wishes,

David Toze

Superintendent
