SUNDAY LETTER - OCTOBER 11, 2015

MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF SCHOOL

Welcome Back and Looking Forward

A big welcome back to students, and a big thank you from me to our devoted faculty who gave up those days and nights away from partners, children, friends, and pets to lead our students on their outdoor education trips, an essential part of our college (and life) preparatory curriculum.

Up next? Parent/teacher conferences on October 29 and 30. Look out for an email soon from the academic office giving you instructions on how to use the Pickatime system to make your ten-minute appointments with teachers on the afternoon/evening of Thursday, October 29, or the morning of Friday, October 30. No classes for students on those days.

And then . . . Grandparents' and Friends' Day on the Tuesday morning before Thanksgiving. We invite grandparents and adult friends to enjoy a morning on campus, sampling a bit of what happens in classes and enjoying a performing arts presentation. Details to follow.

For now, back to the classrooms!

Peter McCormack

Head of School
