While our first campus tour was winding down this Wednesday a parent asked me a great question, "What now?" Whether you have a rising Kindergartner or you are a few years away from starting Kindergarten, thinking about a school choice for your child can be overwhelming. Please know you are not going it alone!
Visiting a school is your first step, but learning more about that community takes time. See if these schools have other events where you can get back on campus. Are there fall festivals, speaker events for parents (author visits, curriculum nights)?
Events will not only give you insight into the school, they will show you what's around the corner as a member of the community.
Our Association of Parent and Teachers (APT), will host MaryAnn McKibben Dana, author of Sabbath in the Suburbs: A Family's Experiment with Holy Time, on Tuesday, October 14 at our Middle School. Click here for more details.

Our APT will also highlight summer professional development programs and adventures (from the Arctic to California!) from seven members of our faculty on Tuesday, October 21 at 7:00 p.m. "An Evening with the Teachers" will be held in our Upper School Dining Hall.
Wishing you all a wonderful long weekend!
Sincerely,
