| A Note From The Headmaster
Parents, I have said this often in words, both typed and spoken over the last week: “thank you for your patience” as we work through how to improve traffic. I hope it was never heard as one of those phrases someone says but has no action. As I have spent roughly an hour each morning and each afternoon watching the madness that is drop-off and pick-up, I am seeing subtle ways we can improve. Leadership teams at both schools have some significant considerations, but it is important we take a bit more time to give parents the opportunity to get used to process and see what relief comes this week as middle school sports begins. I am not satisfied with resigning myself to believe “this is just how it will be” given the increased volume of having all students on campus. I am also not satisfied seeing my faculty and staff labor in the heat to improve a system, while also witnessing a few parents not following the procedures and doing their own thing. I will ask you again to be patient and know we are prioritizing how to make pick up safe, efficient, and not burdensome. Here is my advice/reminder after watching both drop-off and pick-up- Drop-Off
Pick-Up
Thank you for your partnership; I am looking forward to another great week. Sincerely, Fall Tutoring Schedule Please follow THIS LINK [1] for the fall semester’s tutoring schedule.
