Greetings Husky Family,
I hope this finds you all safe and well as we navigate our way through more difficult times in Los Angeles County. Our students began Trimester II this week with energy and resilience, and I remain incredibly proud of them. Thank you so much for your participation and feedback after the parent conferences before the break. It was great to hear so many of you were appreciative of the unique process this year.
Speaking of feedback, please join us for a Parent Town Hall at 6 pm on December 9, where I will provide a brief state of the school, updates on conversations around our return to campus, and an overview of an upcoming survey on the recent schedule changes. Most importantly, it will be a chance for you to ask questions of our administration and the initiatives and programs that we continue to implement.
Over the weeks between the holidays, members of the administrative team are reaching out to all our families to connect. We are focusing on getting feedback from you on how you and your family are faring, and whether there are actions that we can take as a school to support you and our students in the months ahead. Don’t worry if you see a call from a dean or a director or a head of school- it doesn’t mean your child is in trouble!
Lastly, thank you for your continued input on our Head of School search. The search process is moving along steadily and your input is tremendously valuable. Look for continued updates in the weeks ahead about next steps.
I wish you all a very warm and restorative holiday season, and look forward to seeing your faces on Wednesday.
David
Head of Schools

The Amazon Associates program have proven each year to be the largest single source of funds raised for the Parents Association! With your help, the PA receives up to 7% of all purchases. This program is safe and confidential and purchase history is neither shared nor visible. Please join us in taking advantage of the great program, and encourage everyone in your family to do so as well. Together, we can beat last year's goal, enabling us to provide the much-appreciated support of school activities, enrichment programs, and Parents Association gifts to the school.
