Dear families,
What a wonderful full week of school we’ve had! Students are settling into their daily routines, making new friends, and beginning to feel more and more at home in their classrooms. Teachers and students have also been co-creating classroom agreements, which is such an important way for children to take ownership of their learning environment and strengthen the sense of community. It’s been inspiring to watch the connections forming and the joy of learning together taking root.
Thank you to everyone who attended our Parent Meet-Ups. We look forward to seeing you again at our Lower School Open House on Thursday, September 18th from 6:00–8:00 PM. Please read below for more details.

Room Parent Kick-Off Meeting, September 19, 9:00-10:00 AM
Lost and Found Items: If your child is missing an item, please check the LS Lost and Found to the right of the gym. We will make every effort to return items to children (provided your child's name is in their clothing). If there isn’t a name, the item will be in our Lost and Found until the end of each month. At that time, we will donate unclaimed items.
Dismissal Changes -- Please be aware that dismissal changes must be made through a web browser. The PowerSchool App you download from the APP store won’t allow you to put through a Dismissal Change. This is because the APP store PowerSchool App is open and used by schools around the world, but the Dismissal change feature is custom-built for our PowerSchool system. It will only work if you connect to the ASM version of PowerSchool through a browser.
