Upper School Virtual Open House – September 3

Upper School Open House will be held virtually on Thursday, September 3.  This evening is a parent event and begins at 5:00 PM. Advisory will begin promptly at 5:00 PM and the evening will conclude at 6:55 PM. Parents will attend advisory followed by periods one through seven via Zoom. Your child will share a document that will include the Open House schedule, their class and teacher names, and Zoom links to each session.

Open House is a time for meeting your child’s teachers and hearing about the skills they will develop this year. If you feel there are issues or needs you wish to discuss, please reach out to your child’s advisor.

Please direct any COVID or procedure-related questions to the appropriate Division Head so as to allow teachers to focus on students.

We look forward to gathering together virtually next week!
