We hope everyone had a great Ski Friday, and has a excellent long weekend. The pictures above are from today’s Butternut Ski Friday. We will make sure to get pictures from Bousquet soon.
Two Invitations:
Current Parent Open House – Wednesday, February 1 from 8:15 to 12:15
Our wish is for current parents to know our school as well as possible. This is your chance to have a tour with Paul Lindenmaier, sit in on classes, and have lunch with all administrators. After this informative morning, you will have a deeper understanding of BCD’s curriculum, admission program, development efforts, and finances.
There are only ten spots available. To register: aelmore@berkshirecountryday.org.
Movie Night -February 4 at 6pm
The Parents’ Association is pleased to announce that another Movie Night is coming up. Save the date! More details to follow.
Reminders for parents:
2012/2013 school year enrollment contracts should be signed and returned with the proper tuition deposit by February 15, 2012. Please note that the school’s tuition structure is tied to the deadline for submitting the enrollment contracts with a deposit – there is a savings for those who return contracts by the deadline.
The 2012/2013 Calendar of Important Dates was mailed with enrollment packets. Please review the dates before making vacation or other plans for next year.
Final tuition payments for the current school year were due January 1, 2012 for parents not utilizing Tuition Management System’s monthly payment plan. Finance charges on late payment accounts will be assessed shortly – please send in your payment to avoid receiving these charges.
Completed Financial Aid Applications must be completed and submitted on-line for processing by February 1, 2012, and a copy of tax returns and schedules must be received by BCD on or before February 15, 2012. Here is the link for applying: http://sss.nais.org/parents/
On Ski Fridays, some ski equipment is being mixed up among students or left at the mountain. At the end of each Ski Friday, please ensure you are taking all your child’s equipment home from Bousquet or Butternut.
