IMPORTANT PARTS OF THE DAY/WEEK

Each day in the Primary School begins with morning announcements and a prayer from the Principal. The teachers make time for a classroom meeting so that the students have time to greet one another, to share and respond to each other’s news, to think together, to problem solve and to look forward to the events for the day ahead. The class meetings routine helps build community and a climate of trust; increases students’ confidence and investment in learning; improves listening, speaking, reading and writing skills; encourages cooperation and inclusion, and gives children daily practice in respectful communication.

Included in your tuition, we are pleased to offer all of our students a complete selection of menu choices prepared daily by Sage Dining Services cinluding salad, fruit, pasta, sandwiches, a hot entree and dessert. Milk and water are provided. Parents may notify our Dining Hall if students have any food allergies.

The school will supply a nut-free snack each day for all Primary School students. Birthday treats or other special arrangements for a snack can be made, but all snacks must be free of nuts and nut products.

We gather as a community of students, faculty and staff in weekly chapel services and affirm both our Episcopal Christian traditions, as well as recognize religious diversity. We celebrate values that unite, we nurture the spiritual framework in our lives and we learn about God’s love through stories, songs and prayers. Birthdays are celebrated in Primary School Chapel and parents are invited to attend.

The Primary School shares ideas about helping friends we may or may not know in the community and around the world. We encourage our students to be difference-makers and that you can never be too young to give of yourself. There are a variety of opportunities to be involved throughout the year.
