Week of January 6, 2025

Happiest of New Years!

A happy 2025 to all! We hope everyone has adjusted to the return to school after a long and much needed break. Be sure to check out the PTO Calendar for all upcoming events this spring semester. (Yes, it really is the spring semester even though it's 27 degrees out as I type this, with snow predicted for Monday when this newsletter is set to go out, but who cares—look...penguins!)

Events & Programs

Upper School Social, January 31

The next Upper School Social will be on the last Friday of January. The theme is Valentine! Pay at the door for each event students attend, or in advance online. Parents wishing to volunteer as a chaperone can just stay when they bring their student.

________________

How a guardianship order allows an individual to make decisions for another. Learn the legal procedure to obtain a guardianship and discuss the particular paperwork and backing evidence that is required. In addition, it will be explained how applicants must determine the extent of the powers they are seeking from the court. Finally, the responsibilities will be discussed that will be placed on a person serving as a guardian once the order is in place.
