Lower School Families,
Thank you for your support and patience this week as we navigated a challenging week weather-wise.
Due to this week’s school closures, we will be holding a Remote Learning Day on our February 2 scheduled Teacher Work Day. Guidelines for Remote Learning Days can be found on our website here. Students have 5 days to turn in work after Remote Learning Days in order to be counted as present on these days.
As many of you know, we started using a new program called Reflex in Grades 2-5 this year for math fluency practice. We wanted to take a moment to celebrate the growth we’ve seen in fluency so far this year! You can learn more about Reflex here: Why Fact Fluency Matters (From Reflex), Overview of Reflex for Parents (video).
January's IPO and Parent University have been rescheduled to Monday, February 19th at 5:30 pm. The Parent University will focus on "How to Support Emotional Well-Being," with our Mental Health team presenting valuable information about Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). We will cover what SEL is and isn't, along with how we are implementing systemic SEL at all school levels. Additionally, we will share insights on what parents can do at home to support their children's social and emotional growth.
Help Middle School raise funds for dances, Washington, DC, and more!
All our best, Jamie Williams & Ellen Girardi
Lower School Principals
