Dr. Sarah Schecter, Head of Lower School

October 31, 2025

Dear Lower School Parents,
 
It was great to have so many families at OwlFest. The children enjoyed showing off their costumes, playing games, and running around with their friends. It was nice to see all of ECC, Lower School, and even some Middle School and Upper School students join in the fun!
 
It was also nice to see so many parents on campus for conferences. There is no replacement for a face-to-face meeting with your child’s teacher to strengthen the connection between home and school.
 
Our Let Grow bulletin board is growing a bit every week. I am still accepting 4 x 6 photos of first grading period projects and look forward to seeing what students will accomplish this grading period. There are a multitude of possibilities - from learning new skills, to overcoming fears, to doing something independently. If you haven’t participated, check out the website and join us. I don’t know a better way to help your child feel confident and capable!
 
Have a good weekend,
 
Sarah Schecter
Head of Lower School
