Ms. Joelle Basnight
Have a wonderful week off - Eid Al Adha and Jordan Independence Day! If you are observing either, or both, enjoy! Please make note of campus access information listed below, as classes will be suspended from May 24th to May 28th.
May 31st kicks off the final week of school. Please note that the final day of school (Thursday, June 4th) is a half day for students. Dismissal will be at 11:30 am.
Food Service Update
This week over 50 students, parents and faculty tasted menu items from the three different vendors who submitted catering proposals. The selection team is now reading through the considerable feedback, reviewing proposed menus and prices points and inspecting kitchens. The process will conclude in early June.
