How Did You Like Your Student-Led Conference? I Want to Hear!
It was good to see everyone on campus last week as you came through to listen to your own son or daughter explain and analyze his/her first half of the year and share goals for the remainder of the year.
We are piloting this student-led conference process this year. The process is intended both to provide a second face-to-face meeting for parents and, at the same time, encourage students themselves to take more ownership of their learning goals. Also, as students become more articulate at speaking with adults on academic matters, the process serves as good practice for college interviews and for their own self-advocacy skills when they get to college.
So . . . what did you think? Please let me know pros and cons that you saw in this process by emailing me at

It won't be 100% without you
Our 100 day campaign to achieve 100% participation was an enormous success, but there are still families who have not yet made a gift or pledge. If you are one of these families, we encourage you to participate now.
The Husky Fund helps us to retain an exceptional and dedicated faculty; provides for small class sizes; helps fund continual enhancements to our campus and technology; and provides tuition assistance to ensure the diversity of our community as we prepare our students not just for college, but for life beyond.
All donors will be recognized in our Annual Report. Custom payment plans are welcomed, and pledges must be paid by June 30.
To review suggested giving levels and to donate now, click the button below, or send a check to the school.
We are most grateful for gifts of all sizes, and thank all the donors in our extended community for their partnership and support of our students.

Silver Ding
"Everyone needs a purpose in life. No matter if I am successful or not, I should know I'm doing something, I'm not wasting my life. It's not a catastrophe if I don't know my purpose, but I have to be aware that I need to keep questioning myself, "Why am I doing this?" and know what all my efforts are used for. It's a self-reflection of life, that no one can or should avoid."
