Want to know what’s happening across campus—and what’s coming next? Join us for the Parents’ Community All-Parent Meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 14, at 8:30 a.m. in the Dent Gallery.

Hear directly from Head of School Dave Skeen and our division heads, get updates on athletics and the arts, and learn what Parents’ Community has planned for the months ahead. It’s a great way to stay connected, ask questions and hear what’s happening across all areas of SDS.

Come early! Coffee will be ready at 8 a.m. Grab a cup, catch up with other parents, and stay for the meeting at 8:30. We hope to see you there!
