Winter Club Offering:

Our first winter club is being offered!

Thursdays in February, elementary students are invited to join Abundant Circle: The Wonders of Wool.

The ancient art of handcrafting allows a child to fully engage in the creative process. 

In Abundant Circle Winter After School Club, we will explore the magic world of wool!  We will learn various techniques such as wet and dry felting to turn wool into art! It is the perfect time of year to engage in the warm and comforting world of fiber art!

Club begins Feb. 12th, and registration is now open.

2026–2027 Re-Enrollment Process

As we prepare for the upcoming 2026–2027 school year, families will receive an email from TADS in the coming weeks with instructions to begin the re-enrollment process.

This year, the process will look a little different—and we hope simpler.

 

What’s New for 2026–2027

Earlier registration:
Registration forms that are typically completed over the summer will now be included as part of the February re-enrollment process.
One platform:
Families will use their TADS Community One log-in to access the SSS financial aid portal.
Financial aid applications:
Families who wish to apply for financial aid will be prompted to do so during the re-enrollment process.
Financial aid deadline:
The deadline to complete the financial aid portion of re-enrollment will be in March.

Looking ahead...
