Grade Level gatherings will occur on weeknight evenings in the fall and are opportunities for parents to connect with one another.  Each grade level is encouraged to have a gathering, which is hosted by a family or a group of families in the grade.  While in the past these gatherings have traditionally included dinner, this year we are offering the host(s) more flexibility in the type of gathering that is hosted.  The gathering may be a dinner, a cocktail party with drinks and hors d’oeuvres or simply desserts. The gathering may also be potluck or the host(s) may provide food and drinks.

On this special day, grandparents and special friends of each Early Childhood and Lower School student are invited to visit the school.  Volunteer Council help organize the day, decorate, set up and escort visitors.
