Forms, calendars, gear lists, and billing links for Orchard Valley families.

Parent Resources

Quick Links

TADS handles admissions, enrollment, and billing. Educate is where you find reports, forms, and communications, plus calendars and other information. Families applying for Tiered Tuition in Kindergarten through Grade 8 use Ravenna Financial Aid. If you are unsure which platform holds a document, the office can point you to it.

School Calendars

Two calendars cover the school year. The Grace Farm calendar lists dates for PreK, Kindergarten, and Grades. The Sweet Clover Nursery calendar lists dates for the nursery program. They are separate, so check the one that matches your child's program before you plan a trip or a day off. Ask the office if you need a printed copy or have a question about a date.

Gear List and Gear Checks

Gear Lists help your family prepare for school. Each class teacher may request additional gear as they see fit for their class, so check with your teacher before buying. Start with the list, then ask what else your child needs for the season.

Grace Farm Parking

Drop off and pick up locations are set by the class teacher and shared with families directly. Watch for that message before the first day, and ask the teacher if anything is unclear. Arrive at the spot your teacher names. If your plans change and someone else collects your child, tell the teacher in advance so the handoff is smooth.

What this looks like in practice

Most centers keep a parent portal for forms and billing, and send updates through a messaging app or email. Teachers post photos, notes, and reminders. Calendars list closures, early dismissals, and events. When something needs a signature, it usually arrives as a message with a deadline attached.

Children feel steadier when home and school share a rhythm. Parents who read the weekly note know which song the class sings, so they can sing it at bedtime. Knowing the calendar means fewer surprise mornings. A signed form returned on time keeps a field trip on schedule. That steadiness shows up in how a child walks through the door.

Five children sit and lie near a small campfire beside a rocky stream, holding sticks with food over the flames.
