Remember tuition payments are due in 4 days. We have July 19th off school for the federal holiday of "June Teenth" so make sure it is made before we leave for the long weekend or you will get a late fee and your bakPak will be turned off. We will also have the week of June 30 to July 5th we will be out of school so make sure payments are paid before we get back or late fees will be assessed. Have a fun and safe holiday and be ready to come back to school on July 7th There are many of you that need to re-apply for online access.
