Parent Forms Due on Monday

Every Wednesday, the youngest or only student in the family will bring home weekly handouts. This past Wednesday, two very important forms were sent home:

  • The Student Health Disclosure Form should be completed by each family, even if your student does not have a medical need. A blank copy of this form can be downloaded HERE.
  • The Family Directory Form only needs to be completed if your contact information needs to be updated in the Embers Directory. More information and a blank copy of this form can be downloaded HERE.
We ask that both of these forms be returned to the front office by this Monday, September 9th.
