Due to the amount of time needed for teachers to complete forms for multiple children, and to provide sufficient time for completion, requests submitted after December 1 will incur a $25 fee before forms will be sent to the requesting school(s). Requests submitted after December 15 will incur a $50 fee.

Many independent schools use Ravenna Systems to coordinate their application process. If applying to a school that uses Ravenna, use the following e-mail address, isrec@countryday.org, when asked for your child’s current teacher's e-mail address. DO NOT contact teachers for a recommendation. Accommodating ALL requests need administrative support and organization.
If applying to a school NOT using Ravenna. CDS completes the Common Recommendation and school-specific forms. Please email ISREC@countryday.org with your request.
