TUITION PAYMENTS

tutitionWe can hardly believe that it is time to start receiving tuition payments for the 2008-2009 school year. 
The accounting department is working toward getting the invoices out ASAP.   SO... we are hoping that you will not mind that we are extending the "payment due" deadline, for the first payment only, until May 15, 2008.  Thank you for your understanding as we work through a change in accounting software.  If you have any
questions, please address them to our Business Office at 281.496.7900 extension 226.

Check out the Lost and Found!
 
As the school year draws to a close, we find our lost and found bins full of clothes!  Sweatshirts and lunch kits and jackets galore; there is so much stuff, it's getting difficult to store!
 
Lost and Found Chairman, Marilyn White, has sorted the items and attempted to return any item marked with a first and last name.  At the end of the school year, all unclaimed items will be disposed of or donated to charity.
