Last Week of Matching Challenge

We have four days remaining for our matching challenge. We are about 75% of the way to our goal of raising $10,000 for this year’s efforts. Remember each dollar donated will be matched 1:1 with a contribution to the school’s endowment up until January 15th.

Friday Lab Days

All students are expected to participate in our Friday offerings. Middle School outings will go from 9:00-2:00 at Cornwall. Tutoring will go from 2:00-4:00 and is optional for students who are caught up with their work. Parents of students who are not caught up with their work will be notified in advance of required participation. Those wishing to participate remotely can do so by clicking the link in their Google Calendar.
High school students in the Open Water cluster will meet from 9:00-12:00 at Explorations Academy. Students wishing to participate remotely need to formulate a plan with Jay in advance. Students in the Game Design cluster will meet from 1:00-4:00. Those wishing to participate remotely can log-in with Daniel. Those wishing to participate in-person can meet up with Marley at the school from 1:00-4:00pm. We are asking that students commit to a given modality this term.

NY Times

All students should have received an email with an invitation for a free New York Times online account.

PE

Please remember that PE continues to be a class even if students are not meeting with their teacher at that time. Students need to submit proof (usually photos) along with a log of their hours.

School Supplies

Students may not be taking classes at the school, but we still ask that students have access to the full school supply list while they are on Zoom. In particular, there is a request from math teachers that all students have their calculators with them while in class.

Covid Test Results

All students planning on participating in Friday in-person activities need to have a negative Covid test on file from this month. If you haven’t done so yet, please send those results to Elizabeth.
