From Joe Algrant, US Principal
Dear Families,
I hope this final Upper School News edition for the 2018-19 year finds you well, and starting to relax into the patterns of summer. Not that the weather has completely turned to that season, but it has tried a few times and hopefully looks at the calendar and sees that we have now left the month of June. A couple of important items are contained here that pertain to both the summer and the opening of school.
Eileen Feikens Appointed Dean of College Counseling
As you know, we have been working this spring to find a replacement for Rosita Fernandez-Rojo, who will be retiring. We opened a search process and interviewed many qualified candidates from all over the country, looking for the person with the best experience to match our needs in the College Counseling Office…
Nurse’s Office Update
The end of this school year brings the retirement of Sara Schulman, who has been our Middle/Upper School Nurse for the past 10 years. Sara stepped in at a critical time after the sudden passing of our previous nurse, and she has been with us since.
