Cultivating hearts and minds through the pursuit of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty

Arlington community,

As a reminder, we have our upcoming event for Kindergarten Families on August 5th. We will have a presentation and meet the teacher for our Kinder families to meet their teachers and drop off their supplies. This will take the place of Meet the Teacher night for Kinder families. If you can not make the event on August 5th, please feel free to attend Meet the Teacher on August 9th to drop off your supplies and visit your classrooms. We will make sure that you have a touchpoint with your teacher prior to the first day of school. All Kindergarten families may walk their students to their classes the first three days of school, August 11, 12, and 13. On August 13th we will have a final event for our Kinder families, sending their students off to school and no longer having the chance to walk them all the way to their classroom. We look forward to these coming weeks and seeing all of you in person!

With a servant’s heart,
 
Andrew Duininck- Headmaster
