Welcome to
2026–2027
A warm welcome to the new school year — with everything your family needs to begin.
Dear Providence Families,
It will be so good to be together with your children again when we begin the 2026–2027 school year on Wednesday, September 2 (September 3 for Pre-K students)! In anticipation of our return in just a few short weeks, we’re again offering a streamlined, all-electronic approach to our annual August information and forms — we hope you’ll find this format more convenient.
You’ll find this email chock-full of information useful to your family as we begin the new school year.
