  • Step Up For Students Scholarship Q4 Update

    Ms. Kayla Tripp
    If you normally have automatic deductions for tuition, and are receiving an email from Blackbaud saying you are going to be charged a late fee, please ignore.  We turned the auto deduction in Blackbaud off for our scholarship families, as the remainder of your scholarship funding should cover your April tuition payment.  There will be no late fee issued to you. 
     
    Additionally, most accounts have been invoiced for the final funding disbursement for the 2024-2025 school year. Please check your email and/or your EMA account regularly for the guardian confirmation. Please remember that Step Up will not process this invoice until they have received guardian confirmation. Once the school physically receives the funding, it will then be applied to your tuition balance.
     
    👉  IMPORTANT Deadlines: 
    • Renewal families must submit their applications by Wednesday, April 30, to ensure their renewing student(s) receives priority for the Private School Scholarship and the Unique Abilities Scholarship. After this date, all students will be processed as "new” students. 
    Once awarded, please send your child's Award ID to Kayla Tripp at ktripp@weissschool.org and Maribeth Lenz at mlenz@weissschool.org.
     
    If you have any questions regarding your specific Step Up account, please contact Step Up directly at 877-735-7837. For all other scholarship questions, please contact Kayla Tripp at ktripp@weissschool.org and Maribeth Lenz at mlenz@weissschool.org.

  • CTP Testing

    Ms. Kayla Tripp

    April 7th & 8th, 2025 - 8:30am to 11:30am 

    The Weiss School will administer the Comprehensive Testing Program (CTP) as our schoolwide standardized testing for grades 1-8. The CTP is a computer-based assessment. The Comprehensive Testing Program (CTP) is a rigorous research-backed assessment covering comprehension (both reading and auditory), vocabulary, writing, and mathematics. For more information about the ERB Comprehensive Testing, please visit  https://www.erblearn.org/.
     
    Prepare For Testing:
     
    A student who is well-rested, eats a nutritious breakfast, and has a positive attitude about testing is best prepared to test! You can help your student do his or her best by considering these tips:
    • Make sure that your student is in school and on time on test days. Reschedule doctor/dentist appointments and other out-of-school time on non-testing days.
    • Be sure your student gets a good night's sleep and eats a healthy breakfast before each day of testing.
    • Remind your student that these tests are only one measure of what he or she has learned. Emphasize that you have confidence in his or her ability to do the best job possible.
    • Remind your student to listen to the directions and read each question carefully during testing.
    • Encourage your student to ask the teacher for help if he or she does not understand the directions.
    • Please have your student’s laptop or iPad fully charged and ready for testing each morning.
    Make-Ups
    Wednesday and Thursday, April 9th and 10th
    • Any student who will not be in school to take the test Monday through Thursday, please contact Susan Evans at sevans@weissschool.org to arrange a day and time to take the CTP.

  • PSAT Testing 2025

    Ms. Kayla Tripp
    Saturday, April 26, 2025 at 8:00AM
     
    Grades: 6-8 students who have completed Algebra 1 or above math level
     
    Description: The PSAT 8/9 tests your knowledge in areas for college readiness. It takes 2 hours and 25minutes. Most of the questions are multiple choice, though some of the math questions ask you to write in the answer rather than select it.
     
    Subject Areas: Reading, Writing and Language, Math
     
    For more information, please visit https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/psat-8-9
     
    Why Should I take the PSAT 8/9? The same skills and knowledge as the SAT are presented in a way that makes sense for eighth and ninth graders. The PSAT 8/9 measures what students are already learning and lets them know where they need the most improvement. For 7th graders, the April 2025 administration will be the last chance to participate in the PSAT 8/9 at Weiss before high school applications open in Fall of 2025.

  • Student Re-Enrollment Deadline is TODAY!

    The Weiss School Student Re-Enrollment period for the 2025-2026 school year is closing TODAY: February 13th - February 27th
     
    For the 2025-2026 school year, parent(s)/guardian(s) of current Weiss School students will again review, complete, and submit student Re-Enrollment Contracts through the myWeiss portal. The first step in the Re-Enrollment process is to log into your myWeiss portal on The Weiss School website using your myWeiss username and password credentials. Once you have logged in, you will see a yellow bar at the top of the page that indicates you have a Contract to Review. Please click on the yellow bar to review and complete the Contract. If you have more than one child re-enrolling at The Weiss School for the 2025-2026 school year, a separate Re-Enrollment Contract will be listed for each child. 
      
    Weiss School Contracts are integrated with the Blackbaud Tuition Management payment program for a simplified contract and tuition payment process (unless a specific request was made to the Weiss School Admissions Department for a Non-Tuition Management Contract). Blackbaud Tuition Management is fully integrated with myWeiss, and unless you have previously not created a Blackbaud Tuition Management account, your myWeiss login credentials will be the only credentials needed to complete the Re-Enrollment Contract. If you have any questions about the Blackbaud Tuition Management process, please email Maribeth Lenz at mlenz@weissschool.org.
     
    If you are planning to apply for Financial Aid for the 2025-2026 school year, decisions regarding Financial Aid award amounts are expected to be made on a continuous basis throughout the months of April and May 2025. Administration strongly encourages families planning to apply for Financial Aid to submit their Re-Enrollment Contracts as soon as possible to secure an enrollment seat for your child for the 2025-2026 school year before contracts for new Weiss School students are issued on February 28th. Re-Enrollment Contracts that are awarded Financial Aid for the 2025-2026 school year will be updated when the award is made. Discounts that have been awarded to your child for Re-Enrollment (i.e. sibling discounts) are reflected in the Re-Enrollment Contract.
     
    Following the submission of your Re-Enrollment contract(s), The Weiss School Admissions and Business Department staff will review the contract(s) and process all the required Re-Enrollment steps for the 2025-2026 school year. You will be able to monitor the status of your submitted Re-Enrollment contract(s) through the myWeiss portal.
     
    If you have any questions regarding the Re-Enrollment process or the Re-Enrollment Contract, please contact Mrs. Pam Tripp at ptripp@weissschool.org. Additionally, if you do not remember your username or password for myWeiss, please click the "forgot login/first-time login in" button to retrieve your username or reset your password. If you experience any errors related to logging into myWeiss, please email Mr. Tom Eissey at teissey@weissschool.org.
