From Mr. David’s Desk

Getting back into the groove of school after the December break takes a minute, but as an educator, I’m always excited for the long stretch of time from January through April, a largely unbroken period of learning and growth. The next four months represent the time when students can develop the most. They know the routines of their classrooms, understand the expectations of their teachers, and can put in the kind of energy and effort that will allow them to reach the next stage of their maturity. Infants and Ones will speak words, then sentences; toddlers will confidently walk into the classroom and pick up books; preprimary students will begin to seek and embrace autonomy; and elementary students will extensively read, write, and calculate as they become masters of words and numbers. Give me winter in a school anytime!

To that end, Midyear Progress Reports will be sent on or about February 13, 2026 rather than in January. This will give teachers a few extra weeks to observe student growth. Likewise, our World Language Curriculum Presentation has been reschedule for March 3.

Kind regards,

David Liebmann

Head of School
