New Family Resources

During the school year, you can expect to receive regular communications from your child’s division head and teachers, keeping you informed about classroom happenings, upcoming events, and important updates.

For urgent matters, such as school closures due to weather or other emergencies, notifications will be sent via text message, email, and social media. To ensure you receive these messages, please make sure the school has your current contact information, including your preferred email address. 

Important announcements will also appear in the Knightly News, our school e-newsletter. Once the school year begins, it is delivered every Friday afternoon. If you do not receive Knightly News by the first day of school, please contact your division office so we can make sure you are added.

Here is a link to a printable version of our school calendar. A link to the school calendar can also be found in the Calendar tab of our website. While the default setting will display all school events, you may adjust your search settings to filter by division or department. You also have the option to change the calendar display from monthly to daily or agenda view.

Magnus Health Forms

Before school in August, all families must complete a host of forms and questionnaires via the Magnus Health Portal. This information helps us maintain a safe and healthy environment for all students. Without completion of these forms, students may not be eligible for athletics or participation in other school activities, including field trips, etc.

Familiarity with Magnus is also vital for families. For example, each time a student visits the infirmary, Magnus alerts families, providing information including the reason for the student’s visit, an explanation of symptoms, and an overview of the treatment provided. Of course, in the case of an emergency, parents will be contacted immediately by phone. 

If you have questions, please reach out to the Middle & Upper School nurse, Amy Johns ([email protected]).

Required Athletic Forms

Students may not participate in any school athletic program until all required forms have been submitted to Magnus. As a member of the LHSAA, there are medical and health forms that are mandatory, including a physical form which must be filled out by a medical doctor. 

PE uniforms are required for Middle School students (grades 6–8) and may be purchased through the online spirit store beginning in June through September. The store will reopen in November and December. Limited sizes will be available in the on-campus store when the online store is closed.

Extended Care is available each day that school is in session, from 3:15–5:30 pm*, and may be used on a daily or drop-in basis. Our Extended Care Program welcomes students in PreK3 through 8th grade and provides a safe, engaging environment filled with both indoor and outdoor play, as well as educational activities led by our dedicated staff.

For students in grades 1–8, our Study Hall Program offers an extended period for homework and focused study. In addition, a variety of after-school enrichment classes are offered each quarter. Students enrolled in Extended Care may sign up for these enrichment opportunities and will be escorted to and from class by our staff.

For more information, please contact Nadia Crochet at [email protected].

*Aftercare begins at 2:45 pm for PreK3, 3:00 pm for PreK4 and Kindergarten, and 3:15 pm for grades 1–8.

Middle and Upper School Summer Reading

The Episcopal English Department requires summer reading to encourage students to read for pleasure, to appreciate quality literature, to develop and maintain good reading habits, and to allow students to find literature that is personally engaging and challenging. All individual titles have been selected according to the English Department Book Selection Policy.
