A Message from the Division Head
by Ann Sulzer
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.
Tuesday, April 30: 6:30-8:15pm screening of Screenagers: Under the Influence and discussion of film for all Middle and Upper School parents. Please RSVP here.
