Dear Greek School Families and Parishioners,
We hope you are all having a great summer!
Since our very engaging discussion with the parents earlier this May, teachers and directors have been working throughout the summer and continue revamping our Greek School program and bringing more resources to our curriculum!
As we have shared in prior communications, our focus for the rest of 2023 and 2024 will be in the following areas: (1) Curriculum Redesign, (2) Baseline Metrics for each class, (3) Teacher Professional Development, (4) Designing Activities for more Parent Involvement, (5) Hiring 2 additional teachers, and (5) Focus on activities to increase enrollment for the fall.
A LOOK AHEAD & SAVE THESE DATES:
Parent Orientation Day: Saturday, September 16, 2023 from 9:30 -11:00 AM.
We encourage all parents to attend this day, so that you can receive important information for the Greek School year ahead, ask any questions you may have, and also connect with your children’s teacher.
First Full Day of Classes: Saturday, September 23, 2023 from 9:30 AM -1:00 PM.
Classes will start promptly at 9:30 am and will end at 1 pm. We are extending the time, based on what we did before Covid and based on parent feedback from the survey.
New Greek School Website will be going live in August! Check it out here.
Online Registration is Open: As of August 1st, 2023 our Greek School Tuition will be $450 for one child, $800 for two children, and $1100 for three children, similar to our Buffalo and Syracuse parishes. We haven’t raised our tuition in 15 years, and we appreciate your support as we continue making improvements towards enriching our program. We believe this is a reasonable increase after 15 years of no tuition changes; however, if you need tuition assistance, please reach out to Maria and Elina in confidence and we will work with you and your family.
To register, follow the instructions here.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
As always, feel free to reach out with your questions at agreekschool@gmail.com.
Ευχαριστούμε,
Maria Dembeyiotis & Elina Kokorotsis
Greek School Directors
