| | | | | MESSAGE FROM MR. MEDWED  Dear Parents,
As I wrote last week, we are in high season for re-enrollment and are looking forward to receiving everyone's forms so that we can begin our planning for next year. Again, if you have any questions or thoughts that you want to share, please be in touch with us, as we want to talk with you!
As I have spoken about with many of you, one of our best methods of recruitment is word of mouth from our parents. So many of our newer students enrolled because they heard about our school from our current families. We are having a lot of fun meeting prospective families who are looking at the school as we give tours and hold meetings with so many people. If you know of anyone who would benefit from a KSA education (and who wouldn't?), please let us know. Please be in touch with Sandi Morgan Dunn and she will follow up. And don't forget--we have a referral incentive program that could benefit you.
Our school is a wonderful place and does so much for our students, teachers, and families--let's spread the word, invite your friends and make sure that we are not the best kept secret in town, but rather the place everyone knows about and wants to join!
On a separate note, Ivonne Krasnick, Nitzan Resnick and I are attending the North American Jewish Day School Conference in Atlanta this Sunday through Tuesday. We will all be back in school on Wednesday. This is an amazing opportunity as over 600 Jewish educators gather together, across all denominations, to share and learn together. We look forward to sharing with you when we return. School will continue on without us for the day and we will be on email while we are away.
Shabbat Shalom!
