Meet other parents/guardians in grade-level meetings | Learn more about Advisory and Middle Band | Ask questions about Upper School topics
Please join us on campus or online for an informal grade-level social gathering. The Upper School Parent/Guardian Coffee series provides several opportunities to connect with other parents and school leaders. Virtual sessions begin with a welcome and introduction from John Stegeman, Head of Upper School, followed by brief presentations from school leaders summarizing a few strategic priorities for the division, and conclude with a substantial Question & Answer period. Our on-campus sessions have no set agenda, just open dialogue. This fall, Ms. Verity Sayles, Assistant Head of Upper School, will provide an overview of our evolving Advisory and Middle Band program that seeks to build inclusion and belonging for the student community. John will then outline a project the faculty is undertaking to evaluate the school’s philosophy and practice of grading and assessment.
We are offering a total of six events and parents are welcome to attend all events that correspond to their child(ren)’s grade. Space is limited for our on-campus sessions and seats will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.
