The Principal’s Piece: A Note From Mrs. Randolph
Happy July! We hope you and your family are enjoying a fun, relaxing, and memorable summer. Even though school is out, there is plenty happening behind the scenes as we prepare for a wonderful new school year. We are excited to be moving our Early Learners (preschool and kindergarten) to the main campus and have been busy getting classrooms and learning spaces ready for their arrival. Throughout the summer, our staff and teachers will continue preparing to welcome students back! We can't wait to see all of our Lower School students and families in just a few short weeks!

CLASS PLACEMENT FOR 2026/27
We are working to finalize class placement for your student. Please pray along with us as we seek God for His wisdom and guidance in determining the best placement for each student. Class placement information for the 2026-27 school year will be released soon. You will receive an email when your child’s teacher and schedule is viewable in Blackbaud.
SUPPLY LISTS FOR 26-27 SCHOOL YEAR
Each grade level has prepared a student supply list. Please bring these items to school on Meet The Teacher Day, August 10th.

If you pre-purchased your student's supplies through EPI School Supply, there's nothing else you need to bring.
