A Note from the President |
|
I wanted to mention two nice opportunities coming up shortly. One is the February 14 presentation for parents on the subject of “Safe and Responsible Use of Social Media.” We had a nice turnout for the session on communicating with teens this past week and the reviews were very positive. I think you will find Dr.Tim Bono to be both entertaining and informative. Keep an eye out for a chance to RSVP. We are finishing out the year with in-person presentations at the request of parents and will be asking for your input at the end of the year regarding the best way to do the presentations next year.
And for any of you who are in the difficult position of caretaker, please think about attending the retreat on February 24th (information below). It’s important to take a little time to restore yourself and this evening is the perfect combination of information and support.
You received a note from Dr. Michalski yesterday regarding the masking policy. We appreciate your support and flexibility as we respond to the impact of covid within the school community. Our main goal is to do whatever it takes to keep everyone on campus and it appears, barring any surprises (hear me knocking on wood), that we will be able to return to mask-optional on the 31st.
Have a nice weekend,
Peggy Slater
