Message From The Principal
Dear ELC & LS Parents,
We are just a few days away from our final day of school! It truly is amazing to see how much the children have grown academically, emotionally, and spiritually. Thank you for partnering with us every step of the way throughout this school year.
This coming week, our early dismissal schedule continues, with an even earlier dismissal on Wednesday and Thursday, May 27-28. Please refer to the schedule below for the dismissal times, and kindly ensure that your children are picked up on time.
For parents of bus-riding students, if your child will not be riding the bus in the coming days, particularly on the last day of school, please remember to inform the Transportation Office, as well as your child’s Homeroom Teacher and the ELC or LS Office.
Report cards for students who are cleared of all outstanding accounts will be released on Wednesday, May 27. Please make sure that any outstanding balances are settled by that morning. You may call or email your respective school office and/or the Accounting Office to verify your child’s account status.
On our last day of school, Thursday, May 28, parents are invited to join us for the Lower School Awarding Ceremony at 8:15 a.m. in Gym 2 and the Schoolwide Moving Up Day Ceremony at 9:30 a.m. in Gym 1. Please note that we will need to wait until the Upper School Awarding Ceremony concludes before entering Gym 1 for the Moving Up Ceremony.
This is our final newsletter for SY 2025-2026. As we look ahead to the next school year, please take note of the Student Welcome & Parent Orientation and First Day of School dates below.
Thank you once again for your support, encouragement, and partnership throughout the year. It has been a joy and privilege to watch your children learn, grow, and thrive. We wish all our families a safe, restful, and blessed summer break.

Warm regards,

Lenore Baldwin
Lower School Principal
