This handy document is created primarily with seniors and their families in mind, but can be a useful guide for others too during these busy weeks. The calendar page of the website is always a good resource too. Please reach out to us at school if you have any questions about the final weeks of the year. Connect with us in the front office; reach out to your student’s advisor or individual teachers; contact the counseling office – we are available as resources. We want to partner with families to end the year on a high note for all students.
Roundtables Today
Congratulations to the many students who presented during Roundtable Day today. It is no small feat to present to our peers and teachers and parents. And what a unique challenge to do a presentation focused on ourselves – as learners, students, and citizens of our community. That requires preparation, poise, confidence, and humility, in equal measure. So hat’s off to all of the presenters – in grades 8, 9, 10, and 12! Special kudos to our seniors who have the high stakes experience of doing this as part of their graduation requirements. And a big thank you to all of the students who were audience members, especially grades 9 and 11, and the senior family members who could come, too! The interaction between the presenter and the audience is a key component of the roundtable process and requires an engaged group to make it rich and meaningful.

Wishing our actors and athletes a fun and fulfilling weekend of shows and meets and games!
Carrie Brennan, Head of School
