A Message from the Division Head
by Sarah Grenert-Funk
While it may not have officially arrived yet (March 19 is the day), spring is in the air in the Upper School this week. Between the sight of lacrosse sticks, tennis rackets, javelins, and golf bags, and the sunshine and warm temperatures, it feels like we have turned a corner this week. Winterim is in full swing and we should soon start seeing photos and hearing stories of the many incredible experiences the upper schoolers are having. So far the airport transfers have been seamless, all students and their luggage arrived at their destinations safely and on time, and the local courses were bustling with energy and excitement all day yesterday.
It is also a special time in the Muslim calendar as Ramadan began last Sunday evening. We hope that all of our students and staff have a blessed Ramadan
As we look ahead after spring break, please remember these two important no-school dates: April 1 and April 12. April 1 is the all-school professional growth and development (PGD) day and April 12 is comment writing in the upper school. While students will be off, teachers will be aligning curriculum and 3rd quarter progress report comments these days. More information on the latter in early April.
