Small schools like Torit rely on a partnership with parents. Your very strong participation in the Family Satisfaction Survey demonstrated that. I invite you to join me on a Zoom next Wednesday, March 26 at noon to discuss the many intriguing findings of the survey. Parent Alex Brown will help us understand the feedback, and I’ll talk about possible next steps. We will record the session for those who can’t attend via Zoom. This will be the first of several meetings to gather your input moving forward. Please join us!

As you know, today was a Professional Day, and teachers spent the morning visiting schools in the area to get a sense of our peers and ways we might improve the Torit experience. Thanks to our hosts at Advent, Beacon Hill Nursery School, Boston Children’s School, Guidepost Montessori, and Wellan Montessori. Teachers returned to Torit to share their impressions and findings before working in teams on the curriculum for the afternoon. We appreciate your understanding and support for these important days for faculty and staff.
