Education Bill Update--Good News!

H.483 remained held in the Senate Education Committee as the Vermont legislature adjourned for 2023. The advocacy to oppose this bill that we and others expressed to our legislators has been credited as a significant factor in the committee’s decision to not move the bill forward. Well done, Compass community!

Re-enrollment for 2023-24

We've received our information from the State, and are now ready to move forward with re-enrollment for the upcoming year. For those new to it, there are two parts to this process:

1. COMPLETING FINANCIAL AID (IF APPLICABLE): If you have applied for aid in the past, you'll receive an email from Ingrid in the next few days.

2. SIGNING YOUR CONTRACT:  We will begin sending emails to families with instructions on how to access contracts and enrollment forms for the coming fall.  Keep an eye out for those and, as soon as you can, log into your account and get things signed.  We're expecting a busy upcoming year!

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out: office@compass-school.org
