Summer Opportunities

Many Summer programs — both academic and extracurricular — have already begun accepting applications for 2025. Now is an excellent time to start exploring opportunities that will help your child make the most of their Summer, whether through academic enrichment, leadership development, community service, or pursuing a personal passion.

If you would like guidance on selecting programs that align with your child’s interests and could strengthen future college applications, please feel free to schedule a meeting with me.

Health Office

During this cold and flu season, please be reminded that good handwashing and wearing a mask are the BEST way to prevent the spread of germs. Frequently wash your hands with soap and warm water for 20 seconds. You should avoid going to places where many people are gathered, and please wear a mask when you go to public places. It is also important that you remain highly immune by having good rest, enough sleep, and regular and nutritious meals and snacks.

Some of the symptoms of flu and cold are similar, making it hard to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone. Flu viruses can cause mild to severe illness, including common signs and symptoms listed above. Diagnostic testing can help determine if you are sick with the flu, cold, or other respiratory infections. You can find more information by clicking here.
