This is one of my favorite weeks of the year! After a summer of planning and anticipation, we welcome all our students back to school. Everyone at Learning Prep has been eager to meet their new students and reconnect with the students they already know. Although it is a joyful week here, I am sure, at home, you saw both nerves and excitement as we got closer to the start of the year. Everyone adjusts to the school year at a different pace, but hopefully by the end of week one your student is more settled and has made some connections with peers and teachers. If you have concerns or questions, or even just want a sounding board, please reach out to anyone here. Your student’s counselor, teaching team, ETF, and dean can always help. Additionally, Cate Wilson, Amy Davis, Amy Plante and I are available. Your student has an incredible team around them. Please reach out to that team whenever you need. |
