Corey J. Stoops, Principal Katherine A. Storms, Assistant Principal February 2, 2015 Dear Parents, I hope this letter finds you and your families well. We are already starting to plan the 2015-2016 school year. Enclosed you will find registration and tuition information needed to complete the re-enrollment process. I am pleased to report that for the 2015-2016 school year we are holding tuition flat. There will be no tuition increase. We are able to offer this while at the same time continuing the traditions, programs, and opportunities that distinguish Guardian Angels School as a top tier, Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. Small class sizes; a variety of academic, spiritual, arts-based, and athletic activities; and a dedicated, child-focused teaching staff are the foundation for the high level of education each child receives. Our teachers and administration are proud to continue this level of education for which Guardian Angels is known. Looking ahead to the 2015-2016 school year, we will continue to focus on meeting each child s unique needs - helping him/her reach his/her fullest potential, academically, spiritually, and emotionally. We will continue fostering our mission of developing the whole child in a value-enriched environment as we progressively move forward. Technology will also play a prominent role as the staff continuously seeks opportunities to enhance the curriculum through advancements in this field. Beginning next school year, we are instituting a technology fee of $35 per student. This fee will allow us to continue to be a leader in technology throughout all elementary schools and provide our students and teachers with the resources necessary to be successful in 21 st century learning. It is very encouraging to walk through the building and classrooms and observe the level of student engagement through technology. Students are not only learning how to use technology; but, more importantly, using it to enhance the current curriculum and engage in this level of curriculum with higher meaning. High school placement success and scholarship dollars earned are both examples of the quality of students who are the product of our well-balanced approach. Welcoming and inviting students, engaging teachers, a challenging curriculum, smiling faces, and a desire to be lifelong learners are also strong testaments to the quality of education we offer. It is great to be an Angel! I welcome your return next year and look forward to working with you in the best interest of your child(ren). If you would like to discuss any of the information here, please give me a call. Sincerely, Corey J. Stoops Principal
