Dear SPC Families,

Last Friday, Trivia Night was a huge success! Thank you to the Endowment committee for helping to plan a fun evening of entertainment that benefited our endowment. I must say, the themes and costumes did not disappoint! The next fun Parent evening will be the Parent Bash on February 12--save the date and secure your babysitter. It is not a night you will want to miss. This year we are reconfiguring the traditional CTS for a different vibe. We fully anticipate our CTS Gala to return in 2023!

RE-REGISTRATION FOR THE 22-23 School Year:

It is that time of year again when we begin re-registration for our current families. It will come as no surprise that our enrollment is full. Please carefully note the timeline below. On Monday, November 15th, we will send a separate email with all necessary re-enrollment information. I will also send the 22-23 Tuition and Tentative School Calendar. I can't begin to tell you how many admissions phone calls we field each week. The secret is out SPC is the PLACE TO BE! It is important that you secure your spot by the deadline on January 28, 2022.

Re-enrollment timeline:
November 1-November 15
Priority Early Childhood admissions for siblings of current families. If you have a 3-year-old ready for school---sign them up now to secure their space.

November 15- December 15 Re-enrollment for current school families opens for the 22-23 school year!
COST: Earlybird fee of $75/child

December 16-January 28th- Registration fee increases to $125/student.

After January 28: We begin accepting students based on the availability of space. Fee increases to $175/child. Based on the availability in current grade levels, do not wait this long; you risk losing your spot.
