-Do you provide your Parents with a Teacher I.D card?

- How do I know when there is a field trip that my student can go on?
This is only available to those students who have paid the Co-Curricular fee for the year.
The Homeschool Coordinator will send an email with the details when a teacher for your child's grade level has a field trip coming up. All communication will come through email so it is important to make sure the coordinator has an up-to-date and working email address for you.
