| A Note From Headmaster
Hello Parents, This week has likely been a transition at home. Students have been working on packets, you are likely having to help them figure out how to access what they need, and screen time is likely up given we have entered a new paradigm of remote learning. I cannot stress enough the need for our children to talk through the difficulties that come with any significant change to the normalcy we are used to in our lives. Our children will need encouragement and support. They will need to be told to go outside and enjoy the outdoors. They will need to be told, “This is challenging but find a way to endure and overcome; this too will be used for good”. The very words I am writing are what I need to hear myself. The job is not the same. Everything most good about the job (interaction with my teachers, students, and families) feels absent. Yet, we press on toward the goal and must prevail. We need to find a way to have community during this time. As such, please anticipate a phone call this week from a teacher to check-in to see how you and your family are doing during this time. We miss you! As always, please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or need to talk. Have a blessed weekend, 3 Ways to Talk to Your Children About COVID-19 GP Text Notifications Remote Learning Students may have questions about the packet. We are asking them to review the instructions on the Cover Sheet multiples times. If your son or daughter still has questions about the daily assignment and his or her responsibility, please email teachers [16] with specific questions. Teachers will reply to emails with questions about their packet within the hour, Monday-Friday, from 7:35 a.m. – 3:35 p.m. The Great Hearts network will be transitioning from our short-term, packet-based learning to Google Classroom beginning April 6th. Headmasters will be in touch with further details as soon. You can also expect email updates from the Great Hearts Arizona team each Wednesday, and they will continue to keep the FAQs found here [17] updated daily. If you have any questions for the Great Hearts network team, please email them at questions@greatheartsamerica.org [18]. Quarter 3 Evaluations Re-Enrollment Free Online Audible Stories Refunds and Reimbursements PSO Corner LUNCH PRE-PURCHASED ORDERS: Our families will be credited for the lunches that were pre-purchased on the days students did not attend school due to the closure. Thank you for your patience. WATER FOR LUNCH PROGRAM: Recently, our Sam’s Club bottled water order was canceled. We are assuming that their stock is low, and/or they are putting limits on how many cases customers can buy. We, as a school, want to help the situation occurring in our community. Therefore, the PSO will continue and try and provide water for the paid lunches, but there may be occasions when we just cannot because of supply, and so we ask that students bring their own water bottles to lunch moving forward. Thank you for partnering with us. PSO COMMUNICATION: If you have questions or comments, please email president@glendalepreppo.org [21]. This is a way to voice opinions, concerns, get questions answered, and help with developing future agenda items for PSO meetings. Senior Thesis Panels All panels will consist of two main parts: 1)The Thesis Presentation: a brief presentation (of about 10 minutes) in which the student will highlight the essential ideas of the paper; and 2)The Thesis Panel Discussion: a panel of three faculty readers will be convened to conduct a discussion with the student about his or her Thesis, and finally the audience will submit questions for the student via the “chat” function of Zoom. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. LeTrent at kletrent@glendaleprep.org [22]. GP Athletics
