| Re-enrollment Packages |
January 2008
Dear Village School Parents,
Re-enrollment packages were mailed this week. In order to reserve a spot for your child for 2008/2009, please complete, sign, and submit the re-enrollment contract by February 22, 2008. We have had an increase in the number of applicants to The Village School and, therefore, anticipate waiting lists for a number of our grade levels.
Along with your re-enrollment contract, you will also need to remit a $1,000.00 deposit for your first child and a $500.00 deposit thereafter, payable to The Village School. This non-refundable deposit includes the registration and several fees as well as a portion of the tuition. We do recognize that this deposit amount is greater than has been required in the past. However, in order for The Village School to remain competitive in the independent school marketplace, the school must make commitments to faculty and programming earlier in the spring than has been the case in the past.
After receiving your re-enrollment contract, if you have any questions regarding re-enrollment, tuition, or fees, please contact our business office at your earliest convenience. It has been a pleasure serving you and your child this year, and we look forward to working with your child for another exciting year at The Village School.

Over 350 students participated in Klein Winter Chess Tournament held this past Saturday. With quite a few kids out sick, only 21 Village kids contested this tournament. Despite the low turnout, the remaining Vikings fought their way to a 1st place team trophy! Representing the team with four wins in five games were John Coudsi, Wesley Hungbui and Keanan Ngo. Parin Thakkar and Becky Huang earned 3.5 points each to round out the top scores.
The kids also brought home 12 individual trophies. Becky Huang and Wesley Hungbui earned 3rd place trophies while Parin Thakkar and Keanan Ngo brought home fourth place iron.
There were other performances worthy of note. Christopher Beilstein earned his first trophy with 3 wins and a great 8th place finish. Robert Williamson put in a solid effort, winning twice and drawing once en route to a 12th place trophy.
Recently John Coudsi has been playing some fine chess. His rating has skyrocketed as a result. At this tournament, John's new high rating put him in a very tough section competing with older kids. This usually results in very few wins and a frustrated child. Not so with John, he cinched up his belt and proceeded to go through opponents like a chainsaw through butter. In his final game, which should have been his hardest, he neatly trapped and defeated his opponent in less than 10 minutes. Nice job John! In a little more than a month the Team will be going to a State Championship meet. Wish them luck!
