Back-to-School Guide for 2025-26 school year
The 2025-26 School Year is quickly approaching, and we wanted to share a few important updates with families.
The first day of school for students will be:
-
Aug. 14 (grades 1-5, 6 and 9)
-
Aug. 15 (grades 7, 8, 10-12)
-
Aug. 18 for preschool
-
Kindergarten screenings and phase-in: Aug. 14-21, with first full classes on Aug. 22. Your child’s school will contact you with further information and dates prior to the start of school
-
Back-to-school forms are available for all parents to fill out via FinalForms. If you have already completed the forms, please visit the link again.
-
We have updated our Student Handbook (available here), and all parents need to sign this form. The handbook contains a lot of valuable information.
-
Families with students in grades 2, 4, 6, 11 and 12 will also see a new form related to A Call to College field trips.
-
If you do not have a prior FinalForms account, you should have received an email to set up an account with the email address we have on file.
-
If you have difficulty signing into FinalForms, or cannot see your student, please fill out the form by clicking here, and we will assist you as soon as possible.
-
If your student(s) in grades 6-12 cannot remember their email password, they can retrieve that information from their school at the beginning of the school year.
-
As the year approaches, we will share open house dates and more information as it becomes available.
