Principal’s Notes
19 April
Dear Parents,
This week our focus turns to our middle school play. We thank Rachel McCallum and Vijay Saravanan and many others for their role in the production and directing, scripting, set design, ticketing and behind the scenes support. We hope to see you at this exciting and unique production! Whether you have been encouraging your child as a cast member through rehearsals or are planning to attend just to enjoy the production, we thank you for your support of our performing arts program.
MS Play: Please join us!
Transition from Grade 8 to 9 Parent Coffee
Parents of 8th Grade students are invited to attend an interactive informational Parent Coffee hosted by the HS Counselors to learn more about the transition from middle to high school. Please join us on May 1st at 8:45am in the Hall of Light!
Parent Coffee Update
Thank you to the parents that attend our last parent coffee of the year. The purpose of the coffee was to provide feedback on middle school events for whom parents are the primary audience. During the coffee, we gathered warm and cool feedback on Back to School Night, Celebrations of Learning, STEAM Fest, SEVAI Showcase, Student Parent Teacher Conferences, Portfolio Conferences, MS Report Cards, and Learning Habits Reflections. More information about the process for collecting feedback can be found on the slides from the presentation. Over the following weeks, we will be sharing the feedback and responses to them. The feedback will be taken into consideration when planning these events in the future.
Early Release Day
April 24 is an early release day. Students are expected to depart campus in a timely and organized fashion upon dismissal at 2:00 pm. We appreciate your patience with traffic on these days as all three sections are picking up students at the same time. In preparation, please plan on allowing longer time for entry and exit to the school at release time. For our Middle and High School students, hot lunch will be served. Please note that the iHub will be open to provide an air conditioned waiting space until 2:40 pm in case drivers are delayed. Food services in the iHub will close at 1:50 pm.
