Dear Parents & Caregivers,

The end of the year is here! Please note that during Thursday, 6/2 conferences from 1-7pm, AFPCS will be holding a Uniform Swap Shop where parents can purchase USED AFPCS uniforms for $1 apiece. All uniforms were professionally cleaned and are in great shape to be used for next year . (sizes vary while supplies last) If you would like to donate uniforms, please bring them at this time. Uniform donations must be in “gently used” condition (no holes/rips, stains, etc), freshly washed and folded.

Outstanding Fees/Invoices – Please note if you owe any money to the school (late fees, uniform rentals, class

dues, etc.) You will be required to pay them in full in order to get your child’s re-enrollment paperwork. Please make payments at the office via cash or money order made payable to “AFPCS”.

First day of school for the 2016-2017 school year will be August 22nd. The approved 2016-17 academic calendar is posted on our website at www.afpcs.org for your reference.
