the week with updates on each of the grade level experiences, and specically for those

that are staying overnight o campus. Should you have any quesons or concerns

please do not hesitate to contact the Middle School Oce. We look forward to learning

more about and connecng with the Philippines during this week specically the peo-

ple, places, history, culture and the environment. Reecng with your child when they

return from these experiences is important and will hopefully allow you to engage insome rich discussions.

The week aer CWW we have our Middle School Parent Coee on Tuesday February 17

at 7:45 -9:00in the Lile Theater. We will be sharing about what is happening in our

Middle School along with learning about digital cizenship.

Please be reminded that if you should be making alternate arrangements for your child

to be going home with someone else that it is important you inform the Middle School

Oce with the name of the adult that they will be going with (whether this is another

student's family driver, or a parent). By leng us know in advance it helps our security

team when students are leaving the campus. Your cooperaon is very much appreciat-

ed.
