Dear New Families,
We are so glad you're here.
Every child who comes through our doors brings something the rest of us get to learn from, and we're so looking forward to getting to know yours. Our team shows up each day grateful for the chance to do this work, and we'll do our very best to make sure your child feels seen, supported, and celebrated.
In the pages below, you'll find everything you need to get settled — key dates, helpful contacts, and resources to make the start of the year feel as smooth as possible. If something's missing or a question comes up along the way, please reach out. There are no small questions here.
We're truly happy you're with us, and we can't wait to see what this year holds.
With warmth and gratitude,
Jessica Ross
Head of School

The map includes contact information in order to reach out to families directly. If you have an interest or would like to learn more, please contact Paige for more information.

The Student Council School Store is a fantastic way for students to participate in a practical, educational activity. Open every Wednesday from 8:00 to 8:30 AM, the store offers a variety of books and toys donated by the community. Students who donate items receive a store credit or they can bring a small amount of money to make purchases.

Like all independent schools, Havern School depends on financial support from parents, alumni, foundations, corporations, and other friends in our community. As a non-profit, 503c(b) business, fundraising for Havern’s Annual Fund is necessary because tuition alone does not cover the costs of educating a Havern student
Please know we acknowledge and greatly appreciate that parents are already making a significant financial contribution through tuition payments. Havern School’s Annual Fund is a way to unite the entire school community behind the common goal of supporting our students. We ask that each member of our community, including our faculty, board trustees, and Havern families, give something that is thoughtfully considered and personally significant. No matter the size of the gift, each and every contribution is valued. Learn more about making a donation to Havern School. -
