Greetings! We are just about ready for lift-off after a fantastic week with the faculty and a night of Upper School Parent Orientation. On Wednesday afternoon most of the Class of 2014 had their senior interviews - their compelling stories, humor and compassion left us all excited to work with such a fine group of students. We quite literally laughed and cried together and it was a precious time to focus on the group that "owns" the year. On Monday night we will orient the other half of our parents and then.....bring on the students on Wednesday!
IMPORTANT NOTE - if you were scheduled to attend the Parent Orientation last week and were not able to attend please be sure to attend on Monday night. There is a great deal of information that needs to be relayed.
Babysitters will be available during the Monday night Parent Orientation courtesy of our National Honor Society Students. Suggested donation to their activity fund is $5 per child.
Our lunch order service has gone live as of today - each week you need to order by Wednesday at midnight for the following week. To utilize the service during our first full week, new families must create an account by tomorrow night (Monday, August 19).
Here is the link to order lunches:
