Parents of students in grades 1 - 8 are now receiving automatic email and SMS notifications from "Visitu Notifications."  Visitu sends automatic email and text messages directly to parents when their student signs in tardy or is dismissed early from school. 

Parents are reminded to notify school by 2:30 pm via email if students need to be dismissed early.

• Elementary emails should be sent to Mrs. Rivas.
• MS emails should be sent to the Middle School Attendance email.
• US emails should be sent to the Upper School Attendance email.

The Patriot Run is a family event sponsored by Carrollwood Day School's Booster Club.

ADMISSIONS FOR CDS SIBLINGS 

Our Admissions Department has been very busy giving tours and meeting with families interested in enrolling their children at CDS next year.  Based on current enrollment and applicant interest, we know that we will be full in several grades. In order to avoid disappointment for current families with children they would like to enroll at CDS for the first time next year, we are asking our current families to notify the admissions department ASAP about those siblings so that we may start planning.  Please email Charlotte Benziger to start the admissions process and to place your name on the list.

Applications are available now for new students, while re-enrollment information for current CDS students will be sent home in January.

Good Stress

Is your student feeling stressed out?  Overwhelmed?  Anxious?  Sometimes we forget that a certain level of stress is not only okay, and an unavoidable part of everyone’s life, but stress can be downright healthy and good for us.  Read more...
