BRUNSWICK SCHOOL
SEPTEMBER 2012
MONTHLY MAILING A MESSAGE FROM THE HEADMASTER I Know Brunswick Is Supposed To Be Great and All . . . but . . . What Do I Do When I Have a Concern?
Being a parent isn’t easy. We worry for and about our children, all the while harboring great hopes for their futures. As a point of pride, we hope that every aspect of your son’s experience at Brunswick will be a positive one and that you (and he) will see incredible growth during his years with us in terms of character, knowledge, maturity, empathy, judgment and wisdom. That said, it is impossible not to acknowledge that the possibility always exists that at some point in his Brunswick career, there may be some experience, some episode, some issue that causes either you or him concern. So….what do you do in such a situation? The answer is both simple as well as critically important for you, for your son as well as for the School in general. Specifically, the answer to the question above is to let us know immediately! In fact, I’ll go further to emphasize the point…. PLEASE never hesitate to let us know if you ever have a question or concern. I believe, absolutely, that good things cannot happen in a vacuum. For Brunswick to continue to thrive, we must constantly be on guard for things that we could do better. So we need, I need, to hear of any concerns as they arise so that we can do our best to address them. My door is always open; any call you make will be answered and/or returned the same day; any e-mail will be responded to immediately. As I say often in Class Coffees, the only mistake you can make is to decide not to let us know if you have a question or a concern. That said, I hope and trust that your son and you will find this year to be a wonderful and enriching experience; one that surpasses all your expectations. That is our goal always and as the new school year opens, everyone here at Brunswick is ready and raring to go! All the best for a wonderful 2012-2013 school year!
