Important Updates re: January's Interim Term and Senior Outreach As we continue to navigate the necessary accommodations required in the world of the coronavirus, we will make some adjustments to our IT and Senior Outreach programming in January 2021. Both Interim Term and Senior Outreach will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, January 5 and 6. Second semester for all students will begin on Thursday, January 7. Interim Term for grades 9-11 will involve Grade Level Learning and Community Time. Using the advisory structure, grade level learning for freshmen and sophomores will include Diversity, Community, and Inclusion and Choices/Life Skills. As in past years, our juniors will work with our college counselors on college application preparation. The seniors will participate in mostly outdoor service for the two days of Senior Outreach, enhanced by reflection in Chapel on the days following. We appreciate your patience and support as we adjust to offer the critical areas of instruction while maintaining our health and safety standards.
