May 2015 Dear Parents, It’s time to re-enroll for the 2015-2016 academic year. Next year, ASD will be welcoming Dr. Bernie Mitchell as its new Director; it promises to be an exciting year, full of potential. To reserve a place for your child(ren) next year, please fill out the re-enrollment form below and return to school by ASAP. You can also find it in the Talking Drums and in the school office. We are already at the wait-list stage for next year’s grade 6. If your child is currently in grade 5, it is urgent that you let us know as soon as possible about your re-enrollment for next year. We appreciate your taking the time to let us know of your plans for next year. Of course, we are aware that some of you will not know whether or not you’ll be here until later; please update us as soon as you know. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Best regards, Dr. Beverly Sortland Director The registration fee of CFA 300,000 should accompany the form. Families with more than one child at ASD need only pay the registration fee for one child in advance.
