For the past two years,  John Fleck and I have gone to speak at all campuses and meet with parents.  We call our circuit the “tuition tour” as the catalyst for the tour was a desire to explain the school’s finances and explain how the school allocates budgets.  The fact is that although the catalyst was a money issue, the tour has been a wonderful opportunity to share the school’s vision, its mission, its major projects, and what parents could expect for the year to come.

The series of meetings are very rich as they provide an opportunity for parents to ask questions and learn more about major projects we have in the works.  It was deemed that this type of forum needed to occur every year to help set the tone for the coming year.

Therefore, we have set dates for our meeting this year a little earlier per parent request.  I will still call it the "tuition tour", although that moniker is too restrictive and the focus goes far beyond merely finances (even though we will discuss the school’s budget).   The schedule for all campuses is as follows:

Tuesday January 12, 2010:                       Pasadena Campus       4:00PM

Wednesday  January 13, 2010:                 West Valley Campus  4:30PM

Thursday January 14, 2010:                      Orange Co. Campus    9:00AM

Thursday January 14, 2010:                      Los Feliz Campus       4:30PM

Friday January 15, 2010:                          Los Feliz Campus       9:00AM

The schedule is given for all campuses to allow people the opportunity to pick the date and time that best suits their needs.

I look forward to seeing you all!
