August 2020
As we begin this historic school year together, I am filled with a sense of gratitude and appreciation for our wonderful community.
Teachers and staff have worked hard and with great heart all summer so that we are ready to provide our students with a rich and rewarding year - no matter whether we are on campus or online.
We worked diligently to identify and design the Hybrid Learning Model most appropriate for our community. It is designed to serve as a resource to parents throughout the year and contains all of the policies that have been created as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As we have learned over the past six months, these policies will likely need to be adjusted to reflect the shifting landscape.
These plans will only work if everyone does their part. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.”
This is our time to concern ourselves with the whole of our community - to keep each other safe, to help each other stay well, and, as the closing words of our vision statement express so beautifully, “to honor the enduring truth that we are all one.”
Finally, I wish to thank our school’s Board of Trustees, Leadership Team, and entire Faculty and Staff for their dedicated service on our various task forces. We are indeed a blessed community.
I look forward to continuing this unexpected journey together!
