Dear Eighth Grade Families,
 
Hello and happy spring! It is hard to believe that upon returning from spring break, our eighth-graders begin their last quarter of Middle School.
 
As our students begin to plan for their freshman year, I would like to invite all eighth grade parents and guardians to a Presentation about Upper School on Tuesday, April 6th, at 7:00 p.m. This meeting, which will take place via Zoom, will allow an opportunity for you to hear from Head of Upper School Cory Izokaitis, Associate Head of Upper School for Academic Affairs Craig Dow, Upper School Dean of Students Dr. Pascal Losambe and several department chairs. Topics covered will include graduation requirements, elective options, service opportunities, scheduling and more! At the end of the presentation, there will be an opportunity for you to ask administrators and teachers further questions. A Zoom link will be shared closer to the time of the meeting.
 
I hope that many of you will be able to join us for this event. Please note that this is an evening for the eighth grade parents and guardians only. A similar presentation will be given to the students on Friday, April 9th, during their FLEX period.
 
Thank you, as always, for the support that you give to your children at home, as together school and home create a wonderful partnership. Enjoy a safe and relaxing spring break.
 
Sincerely,
 
Eighth Grade Team Leader
