Letter from Mr. Schneider

Dear Upper School Families,

While it was a chilly Saturday night, it was a pleasure to welcome our students to the Winter Formal. It was a wonderful evening of community and celebration!

As we settle into the new week, please take note of several important updates and upcoming events:

• College Counseling presents Navigating the Critical Changes in Admissions Testing (Parent Presentation): Wednesday, February 4, 6:30-7:30pm in the Janet Root Theatre. [REGISTER]

• Between Tuesday and Friday, keep an eye on your inbox for an email from your child’s Advisor. This will include your child’s self-reflections from Semester 1 alongside Advisor comments. These reflections are a valuable piece of our growth-oriented approach, and we encourage you to discuss them with your student.

• A quick reminder that the Add/Drop deadline for second-semester courses is this Wednesday. Please check in with your child to ensure they are settled and satisfied with their current schedule.

Have a wonderful week!
