Fall Musical

Our musical INTO the Woods opened last evening! This world-famous musical tale based on Grimm’s Fairy Tales, features a cast of nearly 40 students presenting our first live theatre performance of the year. Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s award-winning musical sends famous fairy tale figures (Cinderella, Jack, Rapunzel, Charming Princes, big bad wolves, and a witch) on a quest to lift a curse and live happily ever after. But the road to happiness is often not what they expect. (Discretion is advised to parents of smaller children, some material might not be child-friendly.)

You can still join us tonight and tomorrow: You may order tickets at www.edisontheatrecompany.org or the Edison Theatre eTix site. Tickets are also available at the door.

Report Cards

Report cards have been mailed to all families.  First quarter grades and the gradebook will be viewable in ParentVUE tomorrow - Saturday, November 13.  Please note that due to the rolling gradebook, report card grades are a progress report of where your student was at the end of the quarter.  Likely, some of your student’s grades may already be different in the gradebook due to assignments or assessments already completed in 2^nd quarter.
