It was brought to our attention that our Picture Day photographer, Patken Photography, changed processing companies for their credit card payments, and the new vendor requires the CVV number to process payment. As this change was made after the forms were printed, there was not a space left on the order form for the CVV number.
For anyone whose child went today and paid via credit card, you will receive a phone call from Patken’s office for your CVV number. For anyone whose child is going tomorrow, if you could add the CVV number to the credit card payment area on the order form, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Just a friendly reminder that donations for the Give Back Back Pack Drive will be collected throughout the month of October.

As we continue to prioritize the safety and well-being of all our students, we want to remind everyone of the importance of following our Drop and Go arrival procedure on Nassau Street. This routine, outlined in the attached letter, helps ensure a smooth, safe, and efficient start to each school day.
Please take a moment to carefully review all details of the procedure, paying special attention to the sections highlighted in yellow. These areas, when not followed, can lead to very dangerous situations. We also kindly ask that you share this information with anyone who may be driving your child to school—such as grandparents, babysitters, or other caregivers.
