The school year, in my mind, is a series of rituals that mark time: the first day of school, Mountain Day, Founders' Day, graduation, to name a few.

That’s a tall order for three days! It takes careful thinking about how to balance these sometimes-competing needs.  Cultivating Strong Professional Community At this year's in-service, DEI coordinator Tony Strat-Cortez modeled and facilitated restorative circles with grade-level teams.

Good morning. I am Ms. Brennan, the Head of School, and I am excited to welcome each of you to the 2023-2024 school year! Coming together in assembly on the first day is a TA tradition.

They are more supportive and effective. They are more welcoming and inclusive. Schools that are communities allow each of us to flourish, to take risks, to engage in our learning, and to embrace challenge. Bottom...
