Headnotes: A Word for 2024

I would like to take a brief, one-edition break from our series on “practical steps” to welcome all to 2024 with a word: literally, one word.

Headnotes: Responding to the Dilemma of 21st Century Independent School Parenting

We experienced the pleasure of hosting an event earlier this month, and I could not have been more pleased with the conversation led by our team as it related to supporting student success through challenges faced by parents and teachers in meeting the needs of our children. I will endeavor to use this newsletter over the next few installments to initiate a deeper dive into this critically important issue and share “ten practical steps” in hopes of providing support as we work together on behalf of our students.
