Hello Walden School Families! 

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a restful holiday break. Here are the Walden School updates for this week: 

  • This year began with a spike in cases of COVID-19 among our school community and we have reviewed with our students and staff our cleaning procedures and what we can do as a community to keep our program safe. We are reminding our students and staff to use hand sanitizer, wash their hands, and wear their face coverings at all times. For our students, if you feel unwell, or feel you have symptoms of a cold, flu or other illness, please stay home. 
  • All of our off-campus events are canceled through January 18 – this includes athletic events, residential field trips, student internships, and other events. TLC will review on a weekly basis when to resume these activities. 
 
Have a wonderful weekend!

National Honor Society
Good afternoon!

As the former Secondary principal eight years ago, TLC founded our National Honor Society (NHS) chapter on campus. In the years since then, we have celebrated and recognized academic excellence among our student body. 

Since COVID-19 pandemic started two years ago, and we have begun more intensive work surrounding the recognition of equity and inclusion among our student community, we have taken a pause to focus on our community’s needs. We are taking the time to review and revise our application process for the National Honor Society membership for our high school students at Walden and Marie Philip Schools. 

During the month of January, our NHS Faculty Council will be reviewing the process and will announce the new guidelines by the beginning of February. At that time, we will open applications for our high school students to apply for membership in the NHS. We are hoping to have a virtual Induction Ceremony after the February break. When the application is ready, it will be sent out to high school students and their families. Thank you!
