Have a wondeful summer!

Dear Families,

I hope you have a terrific and safe summer, and thanks for a wonderful year. Tonight at the Senior Banquet, we will be honoring all of the Class of 2008 for their acheivements with their families at what always proves to be a most beautiful dinner. Tomorrow is graduation at the Jack H. Skirball Center for the Performing Arts at New York University. We are thrilled to be graduating our largest class to date!

Just a few things to wrap up the year:

  • Please remember, all students are required to attend graduation! Students are expected tomorrow at 9 AM. We will meet at Thompson Street Athletic Center for yearbook distribution and signing, end of the year awards at 10 AM, then Arts Assembly. After lunch (provided), students will walk over to NYU for graduation, which begins at 1 PM. Graduation will end by 3 PM.
  • We are saying goodbye to three of our colleagues and friends, Tim Cooper, Jane Gabin, and Biology instructor Rebecca Leahy. Rebecca is moving to Seattle for her husband’s work (but hopes to return for the 2009-2010 school year!) and will be teaching at The Overlook School, Jane Gabin is moving on to be the Director of College Counseling at The Frisch School in Paramus, NJ, and Tim Cooper is heading off to Friends Seminary to teach and grow their robotics program. More about new faculty members (and we have terrific folks joining us for 2008-2009!) in the summer letter!
  • One more personnel announcement, Marcus Chang–middle school PE teacher and Athletic Director–has resigned from his position at LREI.  Peter Fisher, coach of the championship 8th grade boys basketball team and the high school baseball team and currently teaching in the lower and middle schools, will take on these responsibilities.
  • Summer reading can be found on our school website, www.lrei.org! Important health forms can also be found there. Remember, all forms need to be in before the first day of school!
  • Grades and comments will be available to families through “My Backpack” on June 26. If you would like your child’s grades and comments mailed, please contact Adria Maynor, 212-477-5316, x 323 or amaynor@lrei.org, before July 1. Any questions about your child’s grades or comments, please contact your child’s teacher, advisor, or *rising* class dean, in that order. Class deans for 2008-2009 are for Ninth Grade: Micah Dov Gottlieb (he is also Dean of Students), mgottlieb@lrei.org, for Tenth Grade: Thomas Murphy, tmurphy@lrei.org, for Eleventh Grade, Julia Heaton, jheaton@lrei.org, and for Twelfth Grade, Adele diBiasi Pelz, apelz@lrei.org. You may also contact Sarvjit Moonga, Vice-Principal during the summer at smoonga@lrei.org.
  • Please note, faculty access to email will vary widely this summer. If a matter is urgent, please email me directly.

Until September, all the best!

Ruth
