| Dear Parents, Our first mission here at North is to welcome your child into a warm, nurturing community, to make explicit that school is a wonderful adventure and each child is a special participant. We have an important responsibility – to identify and build upon common values, to make a family out of a group. In Lower School, new academic and social skills develop that will unlock the world. By providing experiences that engage imagination and curiosity, we build self-reliance and confidence. When children are authentically involved in the learning process they are motivated, persistent, industrious, and enthusiastic.
I look forward to joining you on this year’s wonderful adventure by setting the stage at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, September 6 at Parents Night.
Warmly,
Jill
