Dear Families,

We are thrilled to begin a new year at Everest Academy with all of our lovely students. They all seem so eager to learn, and happy to be at school with their friends.  Just looking at the children puts a smile on my face. I know the entire faculty and staff here at Everest feel honored to be working with your children and for this we are very grateful.

For those of you that were not present at Parent Orientation our teachers will be working with our students to come up with a Personal Formation Plan.  We will focus on certain goals that we can work to achieve with each student in the four areas of Integral Formation: Spiritual, Human, Apostolic and Intellectual. Our teachers will be certain to meet with you during Parent-Teacher conferences to assure we all are on the same page as to your child’s personal growth in virtue/character.

As part of our Human Formation Program we are trying to help our students focus on certain etiquette points each month in the areas of: Jesus, Others, Yourself (JOY!). This month the points have been:

With these etiquette points we are striving to help our students understand the importance of forming themselves to be the best that they can be in every area.

I would like to ask all of you to read page 25/26 of the Parent Student Handbook in order to review the expectations we have for all of our students in regards to uniform/personal presentation.  To highlight a few main points:

Know that you and your family will be in my prayers and I am greatly looking forward to working with your child(ren) this year. I thank you in advance for all of the love and support you give to your students day in and day out.

Count on my prayers,

Ms. Maher
