Message from the Head of School
Dear families,
I hope everyone had a happy, long weekend. We escaped the snow, but man, was it cold!
With parent-teacher conferences underway, I wanted to take a moment to share how much we appreciate all that our families do to maintain a strong home-to-school connection. That connection is essential for the growth of your child, and we are looking forward to continuing the partnership in the 2019 school year. Thank you in advance for meeting the enrollment deadlines listed in the calendar above.
Have a great week!
In friendship,
Tr. Mimi
