A Message from Miss Fleming
|
|
 Dear Frederica Family,
Welcome back!
We are pleased to be safe and sound in our own homes. It has been a real adventure that helped us realize how much we have to be grateful for in the midst of the confusion. The fact that our school community evacuated and can reunite tomorrow morning without serious injury to soul, self, or school is a blessing.
Please join us on Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. as we briefly gather in the gym to reflect on what is truly important and how thankful we are to be a part of such a loving family. The Reverend David Yarborough will join us to share some inspiring words with us.
Sincerely,
Ellen E. Fleming
Interim Head of School

To offset some of the school days lost to Hurricane Irma, we've made the following adjustments to the 2017-2018 Master Calendar. Click
HERE to access and download the REVISED 2017-2018 Master Calendar.
- Monday, October 9 - School will be in session on Columbus Day.

It will be the last day of exams for Middle School and Upper School students. Friday, December 15, will be the last exam review day and exams will take place on December 18, 19, and 20. Thursday, December 21, will be a Teacher Work Day.
- Wednesday, January 3 - The Second Semester will start on Wednesday, January 3, instead of Thursday, January 4. All students and teachers will return on January 3.
- Friday, February 16 - School will be in session on Friday, February 16. We will observe Presidents' Day as a school holiday on Monday, February 19.
We've made some additional calendar adjustments to optimize classroom learning and student assessments. For example:

- Friday, October 20 - Lower School and Middle School students will not attend school on Friday, October 20, in order for teachers to participate in parent-teacher conferences. Upper School students will be in session until noon on Friday, October 20. Students in Grades 9-11 will take the Pre-ACT and students in Grade 12 will attend the Senior Health Seminar.
