It's Time to Re-Enroll!

If you still need to complete your child's re-enrollment for the 2024-2025 school year, please do so as soon as possible! Please let us know if you are not planning to return next year.

You should have received a reminder email with instructions recently. You can also simply login to the FACTS Family Portal (https://familyportal.renweb.com/) and complete the process. Make sure you complete the enrollment packet for returning students, not a new application. If you don't remember your username or password for the FACTS Family Portal, please contact the office for assistance.

This year's Strings Camp will be held at PUCE the week of June 10-14, 2024! Students can practice their strings skills while learning fun new music in a camp-like environment. Snacks and arts/crafts will be included.
