LSAT & PTO Meetings Next Week

LSAT & PTO Meetings will be held on December 18 at 4:00PM and 5:30PM, respectively. During the meeting, the PTO will discuss our biggest event of the year - the Gala. Please join us in this initial conversation to kick off our planning! Virtual meeting info to come next week!

Join us for our firstMustang Week 2024, a special fundraising event for our school's 180 Program, running from December 16 - December 20. Our goal is to engage 50 additional families in donating during this week to support the PTO budget, which plays a crucial role in funding essential school programs. Your contributions will directly benefit various initiatives, including:

Art and Music Programs
International Baccalaureate (IB) Program
Field Trips
School Supplies

Every donation helps enrich our students' educational experience and ensures that they have access to the resources they need. Let’s come together as a community to make a difference! Donate here.

Any contribution is always much appreciated. And as a reminder, your contribution is 100% tax deductible. Don't forget about corporate matching! Thanks for your support!

Thank you To Our 180 Families!

Teacher Appreciation Program (TAP)

The Teacher Appreciation Program, or TAP, gives parents an opportunity to recognize a teacher at Shepherd for their great work and dedication. TAP invites parents to write a letter of appreciation recognizing a teacher who has been especially helpful or admirable in the classroom.

Once a month, a special teacher will be selected from the nominations to receive a Wishlist fund bonus. The recognition letters will also be shared with the selected teacher and school community.

TAP a teacher today by submitting a nomination here.
