School Orientation on August 30th

As a reminder, school orientation will be on Wednesday from 8:00AM to Noon, and from 1:00PM to 3:00PM.

Come in any time during those hours with your child to meet the teachers, drop off supplies, and pick up a short assignment that will be due on the first day of school.

Welcome back!

Viking Dragonboat on the Foss!

We had a fantastic practice on Sunday! Sixteen students and recent alumni turned out. Mrs. Marcy, Mr. Ryng, and a few parents rounded out the crew. It was great fun, and we're looking forward to our next practice on September 2nd.

Important Dragonboat Schedule Change

Due to unforeseen circumstances, TDBA has been forced to reschedule our first practice session.

On behalf of everyone here, please accept my personal apologies for this inconvenience. It is my hope that everybody will be able to adjust to the new time. If you have any issues, please contact me as soon as possible. If you miss this first practice, it is still possible for you to be on the team, but please try to make it if you can.

The first practice will now be held at TDBA on Sunday, August 20th, at 3:00PM. The times and dates of the other practices are unchanged. We will be calling everyone who signed up to confirm the new time and date.

Again, I apologise for any inconvenience this rescheduling may cause.

Marketing and Admissions Director
