Dear Lower School Families,
The weather turned a bit cooler at the end of this week as we begin to put away the sunscreen for the season and add jackets to backpacks. Academy lower-schoolers go outside daily – often if it is raining – so please remember to pack raincoats with your children.
Viking Rampage Challenge
The Viking Rampage Challenge is tomorrow (Saturday, September 24)! If you want to take on this year’s course but have not already completed the waiver, please register on-site in the morning next to the middle school playground. All participants must have a completed waiver on file. Remember that adults often run the course, too, especially because younger children may need help with some of the obstacles. Please note that the course will be open from 9:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. For extra motivation, the first 120 students to complete the course will be able to claim a t-shirt! Please click here for additional details.
School Photos
Individual student photos will continue on Monday, September 26. Please refer to the schedule that was sent home earlier this week. We are using a new company this year that does not accept pre-orders. In a few weeks, after all the images have been processed and uploaded to a secure site, we will share those links with you so that you can make purchases or decide if you want a retake. The date for retakes will be announced when we share the ordering link.
Parent-Teacher Conferences
Lower School Parent-Teacher Conferences are scheduled for Wednesday through Friday, October 19-21. All lower school conferences will be in person. Wednesday, October 19, will be a regular school day with conferences beginning at 4:00 p.m. On Thursday, October 20, school will be dismissed at noon, and conferences will begin at 2:00 p.m. On Friday, October 21, there is no school for students, and conferences will take place from 8:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. The online conference scheduler will be open to all parents from 7:00 p.m. on October 3 through noon on October 14. The link to register and additional details about scheduling will be sent next week.
Lower School Campout
We had 65 families with about 220 people enjoying the great outdoors this past weekend at the Lower School Campout. Thanks for joining us, and we look forward to another campout in 2023!
