Greetings!
We have our first Open House of the year today from 2 - 4 PM. This event is for prospective families. Since word-of-mouth is by far our best means of recruitment, please be sure to reach out to any families you might know who would be interested in stopping by this afternoon.
Congratulations to Jeremy Lin, Sarah Fauver, Ben Kirby, Elizabeth Provenzale, and Johnny Qian on their recent acceptance to The National Honor Society. On Friday, we officially initiated all members who have been accepted during the past year. Upcoming NHS projects include building a rain garden, offering an incentive for community service hours performed by all students, building a “Can-struction” project of cans to donate to the Food Bank, and organizing the Third Annual Science Night.
Thank you to parent Laura Fish who was our Upper School Career Speaker this week. Our students have already had a bounty of exposure this semester to both colleges and professions. Many thanks to Ms. Amy for the coordination of our Friday guests, and the many NHS activities.
Huge thanks to Hannah Bao, Elizabeth Provenzale, Amzie Yurko, Willa Holt, Ryan Felton, Cameron Stell, Mike Glynn and Tom Mitchell for providing child care on Thursday during Back-to-School Night for Middle Grades and Lower School. Thanks to their efforts, we raised $140 towards canned food to start NHS’s “Can-struction” project
We look forward to welcoming you to Family Conferences this week. Many thanks to Jill Pitino for the countless hours spent juggling a myriad of variables to produce the masterpiece of a schedule we have for next week. Our appointment times are booked solid so please arrive a few minutes early to allow time to review student work before attending your meeting. We also encourage you to plan for your conference by organizing your comments and questions in advance.
This week:
Monday- Friday - No classes for Upper School
Monday and Tuesday - Lower and Middle Grades have regular hours, no clubs.
Wednesday - Friday - No classes for Lower or Middle Grades
(Optional Care by prior reservation)
Please note that students have homework assignments to complete this week! They have been coached in the creation of a study plan to use over the next several days. Upper School students have those planners with them now and Middle Grades students will go home with them on Tuesday.
If your high school student has a Job Shadow Visit set up this week, please check the details and follow them carefully. If any issues arise, please contact Ms. Amy at amy@camelotacademy.org.
I look forward to seeing you in conference!
