IMPORTANT ONLINE RE-ENROLLMENT INFORMATION:
We are excited to announce that we are moving to an online re-enrollment process!  This will allow you to complete your enrollment contract online, as well as make payments online. We believe that this will save you time and effort. 

You will no longer need to complete lengthy paperwork, as student information will be pre-populated on each student's individual enrollment form. Once the enrollment contract is submitted online, you will be able to print a copy of the contract for your records. 

In addition, we are pleased to offer you an easy, secure online payment system to make electronic payments of tuition deposits, tuition refund plan payments, tuition, and donation payments. This convenient alternative for families will allow you to make electronic payments by e-check or credit card (Master Card, American Express or Discover only).

A convenience fee of 2.75% will be charged if you use a credit card; however, there is no fee for using e-check, which is a direct debit to your bank account. You will be receiving further information the week of February 16.

We will continue to review telling time in 3rd and 4th grade. 1st grade will be reviewing the Solar System in Spanish. Kindergarten will finish the colors DVD (quite entertaining), and second grade we will be adding more vocabulary to our Symtalk system in order to help the students form longer sentences.

We will soon be talking about Christmas traditions in several Spanish-speaking countries, and will be making snow flakes, Poinsettias, and Molas depending on grade level. Holiday music will be playing for the next several weeks in order to get them ready for our "fiestas"!

For all grades, we'll begin our discussions on "El Día de Acción de Gracias" (Thanksgiving Day). The fourth graders will be reviewing the "clock" while the 3rd graders will be learning how to tell time.
In Kindergarten we are beginning to have volunteers come up to do calendar. This is an exciting time as they begin to take the initiative to participate and speak Spanish on their own.
1st and 2nd graders will be increasing basic vocabulary with the use of the Symtalk Program.
They are enjoying the "Operando" (Operation) game in Spanish, providing them with a fun way to learn how to count money.

¡Gracias!
