On April 11, as part of our Parent Association meeting, we will have a presentation entitled, “Vaping, Toking and Other Things Kids Shouldn’t Do.” Drs. Charles and HyGia Park specialize in addiction and child psychology and are looking forward to sharing what they have learned about these important subjects. I have put the meeting details at the end of this note. Hope to see you there.

 

Recently we have had a few requests for students to ride the Late Bus, so I just want to be sure we are on the same page. For safety reasons, only Upper School students may ride the late bus that departs CA at 5:45 p.m. each day. Should your child need to stay after school for a game, please make the necessary arrangements for pick-up. Thank you. I know this can at times be inconvenient. 

 

Finally, next Thursday is a Service Day in the Middle School. Students in each grade will be participating in a wide variety of activities. Our belief is that students exposed at a young age to a range of ways to be involved, learn, and help others are more likely to continue that habit in the future. Over the Middle School years, we try to allow students to experience different ways that they can be of help—with young children, with seniors, combatting food insecurity, in the outdoors, etc.—as this may help them discover where their passion lies.  Our hope is that it will be a meaningful experience for all.

 

If you have any questions, or if I can be helpful in any way, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

 

Best,

Bill
