Greetings!
I hope that you have had a great second-half of your summer.
Our faculty returns tomorrow and Year 32 will have its official launch. We have a full-returning staff and a wonderful addition - OliverKhamky has signed on to be one of our Upper School math teachers. Oliver is an MIT grad who taught at the Moses Brown School in Rhode Island. Please join me in welcoming him to our Camelot Family.
Our new international students (from China and Finland) have already started their orientation program and are off to a great start. We are excited about the perspective these students add to our learning environment. Our growing experience in international education quite literally opens the world to our students. Along these lines, we have formed a Sister School relationship with The Experimental School of the Shuangliu Middle School in Chengdu, China (http://www.szsy.com.cn/news_
I look forward to welcoming parents at one of the two upcoming Parent Orientation events:
Upper School - this Thursday, August 21 at 5:30 PM
Lower and Middle Grades - Monday, August 25 at 5:30 PM
Please plan to arrive early enough to find street parking! Due to limited space, this is a parent-only event. Please remember that this is a REQUIRED parent event.
Soccer practice starts this Tuesday. In order to join this co-ed team (grades 6-12), the office must have completed paperwork on file. You may access that info here:
Also available at that link is School Supply Lists for each grade level.
Students return on Wednesday, August 27. Please note the school calendar for special hours. At Parent Orientation you will be given grade-specific information about activities planned for your student during Orientation.
Students may continue to come in this week to take AR tests on their summer reading. Please make this a priority!
We have many exciting plans to share with you at Parent Orientation. I look forward to seeing you then and to working together this year.
