Welcome to Upper School’s Back to School Night Video Page!
Due to concerns about gathering in large groups indoors, we have decided to make our Back to School (Curriculum) Night a hybrid affair. We will be meeting in person on campus on Thursday, September 9, from 6:00-7:00 p.m. Teachers will be set up at outdoor tables in the various Upper School courtyards in order to meet parents and guardians and answer any questions about their courses, or about anything else. They have also prepared pre-recorded videos, found below, to provide a more formal overview of their curriculum and class procedures. I encourage you to attend the in-person event on September 9th and to look through these videos at your leisure. Included below is a video I’ve compiled presenting an overview of Upper School policies. It’s somewhat lengthy so you might want to look at it piecemeal or focus on the areas of most interest to you. I look forward to seeing many of you on Thursday evening!
