Some summer thoughts . . .

Dear Families,

Fourth quarter progress reports are about to go out. A reminder that these reports include written comments from students on their work this year in each of their classes. We think it fitting that each student’s voice find it’s way into her/his final report. I must say that it was a great pleasure reading through all of these reports. The students’ reflections were thoughtful, honest, and focused on growth.

Many of you have asked about the supply letters. For those of you who want to get a jump on things, a link to the letter is below. You can also find links to the summer assignments.

A reminder that the first day of school is Thursday, September 4th. We will be modifying the structure of this day to allow for every family to meet with their child’s advisor. I will send more information in August explaining how to sign-up for this meeting.

In the meantime, I hope that you all have a most excellent summer!

Be well,
Mark

Mark is thrilled to be a member of LREI's vibrant learning community and is inspired each day by students and colleagues alike. Mark began his formal adult life in schools as a teacher of physics, chemistry, English and an experiential business simulation class in the public schools where he also worked as a school administrator and technology coordinator. For the ten years prior to coming to LREI, Mark was a co-founder and co-director of a progressive K-12 public charter school. When not immersed in things LREI, Mark enjoys spending time with his family and completing sundry home repair projects. He is an avid soccer player and skier and wishes he had more time to play the guitar and bass.
