Talent was on full display during this weekend’s Spring Arts Festival, with students from all three divisions taking the stage, while beautiful artwork filled the space around them. Bravo to our Lower School students, faculty, and staff for an incredible show!

ERB Testing for Grades 3 & 4
Each spring, Porter-Gaud administers the ERB (Educational Records Bureau) Comprehensive Testing Program to all students in grades 3 through 8. This year, testing for third and fourth-grade students will take place at the start of each school day during the week of May 11-15. Click here for more information.

Parenting Tip Of The Week
Fess up when you blow it. This is the best way to show your child how and when they should apologize.
