Upper School Parents' Night

Parents are invited (and encouraged) to attend the Upper School Parents' night on Thursday, August 26th at 7pm in the Presentation Hall. After a brief meeting there, parents will have the opportunity to meet with their children's advisor and teachers. While there will not be enough time to meet with teachers individually, it does provide the opportunity for parents and teachers to forge the relationship necessary to help the children. Further, teachers will be able to share with parents their expectations of the students. It is an important evening and one which I hope you can all attend.
