From the Head of School Search Committee
Dear SAA Families,

The Head of School Search Committee is interested in your thoughts about the strengths of SAA, the opportunities for growth and change that our next school leader will encounter, and the professional and personal qualities you feel are most important for SAA’s next permanent Head of School. There are two important ways that you can be involved with the search process that include our community survey and two upcoming events.

Head of School Search Survey
Your timely and thoughtful responses to this community survey will help to inform the search and provide valuable direction to our consultants at RG175 and to the Search Committee.

Please complete this survey by 9:00pm on Friday, February 3.
All responses are confidential and, if shared, will be without any identifiable attribution.
Upcoming Events For SAA Community
In addition to taking part in this survey, we hope you will consider joining us for two events on January 31 that will provide an opportunity to hear from our consultants Cathy Hunter and Jerry Katz from RG175. Review some commonly asked questions and answers prior to these events.
Welcome Coffee For Parents: Q&A
Tuesday January 31 at 8:30am
SAA Lunchroom
This event will provide an opportunity for our community to meet Cathy Hunter and Jerry Katz from RG175, hear about the Head of School search, answer questions about SAA, and ask your own! RSVP »

Webinar with SAA Parents
Tuesday, January 31 at 6:30pm
Online Event
This will be a more detailed presentation by Cathy Hunter and Jerry Katz from RG175 that will outline the search process and key dates.
