I feel like we say this every single year.

"The summer went by so fast!"

"I can't believe it's the first day of a new school year!"

Although many of us are veterans at this by now, we have a small cohort of incoming K students who are starting at the big school for the very first time. We wish our youngest students (and their families) the best for the upcoming school year.

This will be a longer version of Hawksweek than is typical, but we want to make sure that we share additional details and reminders, as well as get important info out to new families and students.

Starting this week, students in grades 9-12 will immediately begin the final planning phases for their annual Fall Field Study to Mt. Katahdin. Although we expect all students to attend, we also understand there are extenuating circumstances. Please notify the school by Friday if your plans change. Students who do not attend Fall Field Study are expected to be in school and will plan their own alternative project starting day one.

Don't miss any updates. If you or someone you know wants to make the Hawksweek list, just fill out this form.

At the start each week, we hold a whole school morning meeting, dedicated to building relationships, sharing good news, celebrating accomplishments, and announcements. Families and community members are always invited to attend a Monday morning meeting. However, a special invitation goes out to everyone for our first whole school meeting this year, beginning at 8:00am on Tuesday.
