| A Note from the Headmaster
Hello Parents, It was wonderful to see so many of you at Curriculum Night. For those of you who were not present, I did share something that has been on my heart for some time in light of last Spring’s parent survey. When it comes to student kindness and the student experience, I want parents to know that if they sense adults should get involved to help, we welcome that partnership. Please come to us, so we can help your child maneuver these very important years of middle school and high school. Because we are community, I anticipate and very much enjoy partnering with you to help your child learn about life and develop a heart that is inclined towards others in love. Enjoy the weekend, Senior Trip Payment- August 29th Payment options for the Senior Trip are up and running on the payment portal! Please remember to set up a payment option by Tuesday, August 29th. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Madame Cognet-Pereira at CCognet-Pereira@glendaleprep.org.
