PERSONNEL UPDATES FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

This is to let you know that I have re-opened the search for an Assistant Head of School for the K-8 Program. I am confident that a longer search will provide us with an exceptional candidate who will begin in July 2017. The Middle School Science position has also been advertised. It is my goal to fill both positions before we leave for spring break. We are also seeking a boys lacrosse coach. If you know of any qualified candidates please share the position descriptions which can be found HERE.

In addition, please join me in welcoming Melanie Torzolini as our new Kindergarten intern. Melanie is a senior majoring in Elementary Education at Washington College. She will be with us on Mondays and Wednesdays from now until May. We are delighted to have her on board!
