Welcome back to the first day of the 2015/16 school year! Whether your child drove himself to school this morning or you walked her into her new Lower School classroom, we hope your day is off to a good start.Your child will have a busy day and will come home full of information about what to expect this year. Please read your division newsletter each week for messages from the Parents Association and the principal – it will be your best resource for how to get involved, when Back-to-School Nights are scheduled, what performing children should wear for choral concerts, and much, much more.There are so much going on right now (it will settle down!), but we want to take a moment and make sure you know about two special events this week that are geared to parents in all divisions.Tomorrow, Wednesday, 9/9 – All School Parents Association Meeting; reception @ 6:30 p.m., program @ 7 p.m.Come hear Head of School Bryan Garman speak about current priorities and expectations for the year.Saturday, 9/12 – All School Welcome Back Meeting for Worship and Overview of Quakerism at SFS by Bryan Garman @ 2 p.m.Gather with the SFS community and hear about the importance of silence during the school day and weekly Meeting for Worship at SFS.We especially want to welcome families who are new to the school or have a sibling starting this year. We know this is a busy time, and you are focused on getting your child adjusted to the new school, but we urge you to attend as many events in these first couple months as you can and get to know other families in the grade – when we parents are engaged in the life of the School, the community is stronger and for it!Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us or to your division’s Parent Association clerks if we can answer any questions. We hope to see you tomorrow night.Lisa and PriscillaAll School Parent Association Clerks
