A Message from the Division Head

by Sarah Grenert-Funk
Need to Know April 19


This afternoon we will post third quarter comments to the Veracross student and parent portals. These comments are a valuable reflection of your child's progress and achievements thus far in the second semester. These comments are designed to celebrate and appreciate each student by recognizing their strengths and growth. You'll find detailed insights that highlight areas of commendation and progress.

The comments provide specific strategies and recommendations based on the learning outcomes of our courses. These actionable insights are intended to guide students in the 4th quarter and help them continue making meaningful progress towards the outcomes. 3rd Quarter comments also include Winterim, winter athletics, and theater comments.

We encourage you to review the comments with your child and use them to have constructive conversations about where they should focus their attention and efforts in the 3rd quarter. If you have any questions, you are encouraged to reach out to your child’s teacher or advisor directly. 

Also, a reminder that you are invited to join us at one of two screenings of Screenagers: Under the Influence. More information and a link to RSVP below. We hope to see you there!
