Dear Upper School Parents & Students, 

Life was business as usual this week in the Upper School–the warmer weather brought a welcomed respite from our recent cold spell! We enjoyed some top quality group bonding with “minute-to-win-it” games in Advisory, inducted five students into the French National Honor Society, and crafted Valentine’s with Interact. This evening, we are looking forward to honoring our Band, Cheer, and Basketball Seniors at our final home game of the season. Congratulations to all of the Seniors that will be recognized tonight!

Don’t forget–Special Studies week is rapidly approaching! Please be on the lookout for emails from group leaders. It’s important to ensure that all details are taken care of with time to spare. 

Looking forward, here is what’s on the horizon for the division:

• Friday, February 13 - Monday, February 16
  • Winter Break/President’s Day
• Monday, February 23 - Friday, February 28
  • Special Studies Week
• Friday, March 6

Lastly, please remember to email attendance@sdsgriffin.org if your student needs to leave early, will be arriving late, or will not be at school. As always, please check the athletic team calendars for the most up-to-date information on athletic competitions. 

Wishing everyone a lovely long weekend,

Jenny Glenn
Head of Upper School
