With start of school around the corner on Tuesday, September 5, the Compass School is holding an Orientation in the evening of this Wednesday, August 30 for new and returning students.
The purpose of the orientation is to complete enrollment paperwork for the school year, and answer any questions. Your students are welcome, but not necessary. The Orientation takes place from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM -- respectful of work schedules, for those who need more time, know that our doors are open until 6:30 PM that night.
This summer the administrative team and the teachers have been working diligently to update systems and adjust to meet the changing needs of the Compass community. When it comes to enrollment, we recognize that the Blackbaud system and procedure isn't as simple to use and likely has created some confusion. Your patience and understanding as we transition into a new chapter at the Compass School is very appreciated, and this Orientation is a great opportunity to meet in-person to alleviate any confusion.
Even if you know you've completed all the paperwork, please feel free to join us on August 30th to meet staff and other families. There will be some updates re: new policies and expectations conveyed on the 30th as well. Expect an email to be sent closer to the date with that content, so that those who aren't able to attend are kept in the loop re: 2023-2024 updates and changes.
If you are not able to attend on August 30th, please email ingrid.witherell@compass-school.org. Ingrid will reply with the relevant documents attached to that email. No need to rely on Blackbaud going forward, as it is our aim to simplify this process and make sure all families feel welcome and supported this coming year.
Thank you,
Kendra
