Each student interested in the immersion program must submit a separate application. The first round of applicants will be notified by email on May 22, 2017. Ongoing acceptance will be as openings in Immersion become available.

POET WANTS YOUR OPINION – Parents, we need your ideas! This survey will take 5 minutes and will be a guiding force for POET decisions. Data is collected anonymously, click on the link and let your voice be heard: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3WW36GS

SPIRIT FRIDAY May 19 – Single Color Day: Every year we have a color day, but we usually pick the color. This year, YOU pick the color. Do you own a lot of purple? Wear it all today! Are you a fan of chartreuse? Today’s your day to shine (literally). Your goal is simply to wear as much of one color as you can.

CHECK YOUR STUDENT LUNCH ACCOUNT – It’s getting close! This time of year can get very busy with all that is going on. If you would like one less thing to worry about, now would be a great time to check your student’s account and pay to the end of the year.

  • Full pay students 7-9 grade $26.00
  • Full pay students k-6 grade $20.00
  • Reduced lunch all grades $4.00
