News from the Lower School

Week of Sept. 4

Happy Fri-Yay LS Families,

Over the past two weeks, we have been diligently working to set the stage for a successful school year. Our primary focus has been on mastering routines, setting clear expectations, and laying the essential foundation for a productive academic journey ahead. Our teachers have been instrumental in guiding students through this crucial phase and students have shown remarkable dedication and adaptability. Next week marks the beginning of our full-scale launch into academic units. Both teachers and students are eagerly looking forward to shifting gears into a much more academically focused daily routine. It's time to dive into exciting subjects, explore new ideas, and embrace the learning adventures that await us. We are confident that the strong groundwork we've established will ensure a successful and rewarding school year for your children. 

Before we launch into this phase of the school year, I encourage all families to take this holiday weekend as an opportunity to relax, recharge, and create some wonderful memories together. Whether it's a day trip, a picnic in the park, or simply enjoying quality time at home, this break is a chance to rejuvenate and prepare for the academic challenges ahead. When we return on Tuesday, it's game time!

Thank you for your continued support, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Together, we'll make this school year a truly exceptional one.

With Gratitude,

Jonathan
