Welcome to the WAAG!

Re-register for the 2024/25 School Year

Re-register for the 2024/25 School Year

Dear Gaglardi Academy Families

Planning for the 2024-2025 school year is underway, and student re-registration is a key part. Student enrollment guides many decisions, from hiring staff to ordering furniture and erasers.
 
Yearly re-registration is not only mandatory under the Independent School Act, but essential in navigating the unprecedented enrollment interest by new families.  The school currently has 15 families in our wait pool for 2024-25.
 
We require every currently enrolled family to indicate their registration intentions for next year using this linked Re-registration Form on or before March 1, 2024.   If you require a paper copy of this form, please get in touch with the office immediately, and one will be sent home with your family note-taker.

If the school doesn't hear from your family by the deadline, we assume you do not intend to re-enrol your children for next year so that you can give them an open seat for a new family in our wait pool.  To help families, you will receive regular prompts and reminders until the deadline.  There will be a WAAG weekly reminder, website notices, website calendar posts, and a final direct email to every family three days before the deadline. 

So please act now; why wait?

Laptop Reminder for Grades 7 and Up!

 

Dear parents and students in grades seven and above, we want to remind you that personal laptops are required for classes. Alternatively, students can use traditional pen and paper for assignments. Our tech support team is always available to assist you, but it is important to note that relying on borrowed school laptops will not be sufficient going forward.
