It has been wonderful to see all of our families this week for conferences. It is so amazing to have the chance to hear about each child as a whole learner. We hear patterns of strengths and challenges and also get a full picture of how each Middle Schooler is known and seen. 

We have a few important events coming up that I want to be sure are on your calendar: 

Tuesday, April 23: MS Parent Partnership Meeting with Soundcheck to learn about Middle School alcohol and other drugs education—we strongly encourage 7th grade parents/families to attend in person or on Zoom (link on OES calendar) 8:15-9:15am

Monday, April 29: 8:00-8:30am enjoy coffee/pastries; 8:30-10:15am screening of Screenagers: Under the Influence and discussion of film for all Middle and Upper School parents. Please RSVP here.
