WELCOME BACK! START OF SCHOOL 2021 HIGHLIGHTS

Jan 25, 2022 | Head of School

As Noted by Head of School Dr. D, the first day and starting weeks of school this September were even more exciting than usual!

Beyond the typical post-summer break reunions, many students and teachers who were not in-person last year returned to the campus. Despite ongoing mask requirements and constant attentiveness to COVID health and safety guidelines — including social distancing and regular testing of our youngest students and those working with them — being together this year has made all the difference.
Dining under the Leggett Field Tent is a popular lunchtime dining and coop-snack-eating destination, and our fully vaccinated, “APVs” (approved parent volunteers) are especially enjoying channeling their creativity and energies on-campus (Hint: D-E parents – see Page 29 for details and to get involved!).
