Reflections on Our Journey

Written on 28 September 2020.

Dear Parents,

I hope this Monday message finds you and your family enjoying a well-deserved rest, and special wishes for a Happy New Year to all who celebrated Rosh Hashana and are now celebrating Yom Kippur.

As we enter the sixth week of on-campus teaching and learning, I want our community to reflect on what we have achieved since August 20th. We are in a very small minority of schools that have - thus far - kept COVID off campus. Throughout our region and across North Carolina, many peer schools have had COVID cases among students and teachers. In some cases, the entire school had to go 100% online for a period of weeks and in other cases, entire grades and divisions have been 100% online for weeks at a time.

Grace & Space

Written on 02 September 2020.

Hello Parents!

We are counting the hours! Amid the excitement, eager anticipation, and rush to prepare, I want to share with you what will become our mantra over the course of the school year: “Grace & Space!”

Space: Our need to give each other space, to respect each other’s space, and to find the best ways to share our campus spaces will be something we need to learn together. Fostering our close-knit community from six feet apart and online will challenge our creativity, our ingenuity, and our resilience. A famous adage: No plan survives its first contact with reality. Tomorrow, months of planning will meet reality. We are sure to see the need for modifications, changes, and improvements as we move forward together.
