Parents,
I cannot believe how the summer has flown by! I am so excited about seeing your kids next week. This is my favorite time of year (except for the heat). I love the start of a new school year. Everyone is so excited to be back, catch up with their friends, stay on task with their homework, etc. It’s such a fun time. You can sense the energy and excitement in the student body those first few weeks.
For those of you visiting my blog for the first time, you can create and Google account and become a follower. If you don’t want to do that, you can just check the blog about once a week. I try to post weekly.
First let me tell you how well attended our parent informational meetings have been thus far. I know that some of you are still on vacation, so I will be sending out grade level emails with the handouts attached. Please reply to my email me with any questions.
Many of you have asked about school supply lists. Our kids take so many different classes in upper school that it is hard to come up with a “grade level supply list”. So instruct your student to bring their textbook, notebook and something to write with on the first day. Their teachers will give them further information during the first class meeting.
This Sunday from 3-4:30 is our New Family Orientation. I am thrilled to be welcoming so many new families and new students to our community. Also the Monday before school, the juniors will be getting together for brunch in the Murphy Theater. The seniors will be gathering for a lunch in the same location around noon. Your junior or senior should be receiving notification about those events from their class officers.
That’s all the information I have for now. Until my next update………..
