Keeping Track of Your D-E Admissions Application

If you have already submitted a Dwight-Englewood School online application, you can use the InfoSnap Admissions Tracker to check to see if our office has received application items, like test scores, transcripts or teacher recommendations. Our Office Manager, Alice Rollo, has updated all applicant records to date. 

Applicants should expect an email from our Admissions Office inviting you to utilize the Admissions Tracker and explaining how to sign up for an account.  Simply log into your application account with your username and password.  The Tracker will be visible to you at the welcome screen.  Of course, if you have questions about the status of your application, please give our office a call at 201-569-9500 extension 3500.

School Resumes after a Terrific Thanksgiving Break!

D-E students returned to school on Monday and are still talking about last week's annual D-E All-School Thanksgiving Assembly, which took place the day prior to the holiday break.  More than 1,200 students, faculty and staff from the Lower, Middle and Upper Schools gathered in the Large Gym to enjoy the program.   Led by Head of School Dr. Rodney V. De Jarnett, the assembly included all the traditional D-E Thanksgiving assembly segments; musical performances; video vignettes; reflections on the meaning of the Thanksgiving holiday; and a few amusing surprises.   To learn more about the assembly, click here.

Congratulations to the Cast and Crew of "Alice"

This weekend's fall play performance of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was terrific.

If you were unable to join us for the fall play, perhaps you'll consider being in the audience for D-E's upcoming musical, Beauty and the Beast.  We will send out invitations to prospective admissions candidates some time in February.

D-E Hosts Middle & Upper School Applicants for "Shadow Visits"

Middle School student Lily W. hosted her first visitor on this Veteran's Day today.  A new student to the sixth grade who was graciously hosted by another D-E Middle Schooler last year, Lily knew to plan ahead to dress for the occasion!
