Dear Upper School Families,

Fall Term? Check ✓!

It has been intense and a good example of our "Launch, Test, Refine" mindset in practice.

As we are about to enjoy a few days of break, I wanted to share a review of the fall term in the Upper School, and I thought sharing some numbers may be a good way to do it:
52
Number of schedules we designed and looked at to prepare for Back-to-School
3,651
Number of emails I've received since September 1
121
Number of phone calls I've received since September 1
11
Number of times I was late to fill in the Magnus daily attestation (but still did it!)
100%
Percentage of kids who told me they were happy to have school online or on campus
And ... it was all worth it. To see the kids on campus, their interactions, engagement, laughters, and enjoy their presence reminded us why we do this work.

Thank you for your patience, your understanding, your questions. We're all in this together, and I appreciate your support of Beaver and our faculty and staff.

And to the PA and all of you, for the really kind, thoughtful notes shared this morning: WOW! Thank you. That was very much appreciated.
Now, a quick look ahead:

  • Winter Term starts on Monday, November 30, with your student's new groups. Group 1 on campus. Click here to see the weekly schedule and updated group rotation.
We updated our December and January rotations slightly, so please re-check the month-by-month view of Group 1 and Group 2.
  • Winter Athletics start Monday, November 30. View the schedule of Phase 1 on our website.
  • Set a reminder to fill out your daily attestation form again starting the morning of Monday, November 30.
  • End-of-term comments and grades will be shared with you in the first week of December.
  • If you haven't already, please read this week's Community Health Update. This will ensure we're all following the appropriate safety protocols.

I wish you all a happy Thanksgiving break, and I’m looking forward to a great winter term.
