Dear Families,
In the blink of an eye, it’s suddenly October. Thank you for sharing your amazing children with us - it’s so energizing to have them with us this fall. September flew by and with October marking the beginning of our college trips, it reminds me how fast the four years of high school will go. Enjoy the present tense and get excited for the opportunities ahead!
In the updates below, be sure to tune in to upcoming work-based learning opportunities - from classroom collaborations to internships - refreshing yourselves on our safety policies, and new SEL opportunities, plus reminders regarding needed paperwork. We are campaigning strongly to get all paperwork in so that we can improve our outreach to you with accurate phone numbers and email addresses.
We look forward to seeing you for our first official Parent Teacher Association of the year on October 4th at 6PM on Zoom!
Further into the fall we go!
In partnership,
Amy
