Our Sparks are 100 Days Smarter!

This past Thursday, we celebrated 100 days of school with the traditional 5th Grade Parade. Our eldest Sparks dressed up as themselves at 100 years old and visited each classroom to wish everyone “Happy 100 Days!” This year is flying by and we can’t believe how quickly our Sparks are growing (and, apparently, aging!)

Rolling Enrollment Begins

New student applications are currently being reviewed for enrollment. This past year, we experienced wait lists in several grades and we anticipate that trend to continue for the 2025-26 school year. If you are a current family who has not yet re-enrolled, we encourage you to finalize your contract(s) as soon as possible. For more information, please refer to the Re-Enrollment Guide.

Tuition Assistance
Our Tuition Assistance Committee oversees a needs-based tuition assistance process committed to helping qualified families.  All Tuition Assistance applications for re-enrolling students are due by March 18. For more information, please refer to the Tuition Assistance Guide.

Report Cards Ahead!

Please make note of the following dates as we wrap up the third quarter:
March 7: Quarter III Ends
March 10: Quarter IV Begins
March 14: Report cards released at 5:00 p.m.
March 28: Parent-Teacher Conferences (No School)

Thank you to all who participated in “Wear Red for Rosewood”. Together, we raised $350 to help the Rosewood Foundation assist Catholic schools in educating children with special needs!

Architecture Returns to Embers!

Sparks in 3rd-5th Grade are invited to sign up for Art Club: Introduction to Architecture. Students will be challenged with an array of small projects, from sketching with a ruler, paper, and pencil, to modeling with cardboard, foam, and/or wood. Click HERE for more program information.
