Dear Seventh Grade Families,

I hope that your family is enjoying all that Summer Break has to offer. We are excited to have you join us at the junior high, We are about six weeks away from BOOT Camp and your official first day at the junior high. 

 

The last days of summer break are often cluttered with buying uniform-appropriate clothes and school supplies, so I wanted to send a single email with consolidated information to help you prepare for a successful seventh grade year. Many of the items below should be completed before the first day of school.  Please make sure that you have recently visited our  Seventh Grade Website for details about BOOT Camp. 

Looking forward to the year together,

Hugh Di Pretore
The Classical Academy
Junior High Principal
