Dear SSIS Parents,
I am so grateful that so many of you could join us for yesterday’s Virtual School information session. Your questions and participation clearly demonstrated a key strength of our community – the positive partnership between our parents and the school.
Video & Slides Virtual Information Session
If you were not able to attend yesterday’s information session, you can view the recording here, and the presentation slides here. The video and slides will answer many of the questions that you may have about starting the school year virtually.
During the past 18 months of the COVID pandemic, our community has exhibited enormous resilience, dedication, and commitment. As we prepare to start the school year virtually, I am confident that, together, we can overcome any of the challenges we may face this year.
As an Apple Distinguished School, we are well-resourced and trained to provide your children with an exemplary Virtual School program. And based on our three previous experiences with Virtual School and the feedback our families have provided us with, we have continued to improve and enhance our program.
New Parents’ Orientation & Welcome
Next week, starting off the school year, is our Week of Welcome, which begins with an orientation for our new families. We are thrilled to welcome them into our community and will provide several opportunities for new parents and students alike to get to know our community.
