Letter from Ms. Grant
Letter from Ms. Grant
Good afternoon,
Welcome back from the weekend. This afternoon is our first week of academic updates for the new school year. For those of you new to Middle School, an academic update will be sent home every other week if your student has lower than a 73% in a class or 83% in an honors math class. The emails come from my email, but if you have follow up questions, please reach out to the individual teacher.
8th Grade Parents
Last week I sent a letter inviting you all to meet with me in the upcoming month. We will discuss key dates and lay the pathway for moving forward through the year and beyond to Upper School.
New Families
Mrs. Brill will be checking in at break with all new students. I will be meeting with the new parents in the coming month. I will send a separate email letting you know how to sign up for a meeting.
Have a great week,
Kris Grant
Head of Middle School

We are asking families to be mindful that we have many students with peanut and tree nut allergies which are life threatening. Please refrain from sending any peanut and or tree nut products to school for the safety of all the students. This includes but is not limited to peanut butter, Nutella, and granola bars containing any kind of nut. Thank you!
