Hello Upper School Families,
I hope you are all holding up well during this very difficult time. The announcement of no in-person classes through the remainder of the school year was perhaps expected, but still came as a hard blow to me. Then again, we are still here, if remotely! One thing that makes Roycemore so special is the relationships that students develop with their teachers. Our faculty is so committed and always ready to help students beyond class time, even now! Students, if you have not done so already, please take advantage of office hours offered by your teachers if you need extra help, or even just to shoot the breeze:

! They miss your faces as much as I do. Please stay safe and healthy and know I am here if you need to reach out.

Course Planning
Course planning for next year continues. Parents of current freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, I encourage you to have a dialogue with your students at home as students think about the classes they want and need for next year. Each student should have a sheet for you to sign. Please check with your student's Advisor if they do not have this sheet.
