Are You Moving? |
|
| |
Or are not planning to attend Cornell Village for the 2008/09 school year? If so, please
inform your child’s home room teacher or Mrs. Gammie in the
office.
We have had to send some of our transfer students back to
their home schools because our class enrolments are so large. If
you are moving (for sure) and know that your child will not be at
Cornell Village next year, we may be able to accommodate some of these families.
This type of information is also very important as we
plan our classes for next September. Thanks for your help with this
matter! |

The staff have put together an estimate of expenses for the year by grades. Details.
