We hope you had a restful and joyful Thanksgiving break filled with quality time and good memories. As we return, we find ourselves in the final stretch of the first trimester, which ends on Wednesday, December 4th.

As we transition to Trimester 2, students will experience a shift in their Unified Arts (UA) classes and move into new Seminar blocks. We are excited to introduce a small but meaningful change to the Seminar design this trimester, which will ensure all students have access an academic seminar to support their acceleration in math, ELA or a preidentified areas including reading or academic support. Because seminar works on an even odd rotation, students will continue to rank their top three choices for their second seminar, unless otherwise predetermined. Students will select seminars on Wednesday and they will begin Monday, 12/9. We are grateful for all students and teachers for supporting this additional time for supporting all of our amazing learners.

As we reflect on the season of gratitude, we are so thankful for the partnership of our families. If you have any questions about Trimester 2 or your student’s progress, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your student's school counselor, teachers, or administrators.

In partnership,

Abby Dudley

Principal
