PHOTO RETAKES: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7

Photo retakes will be available the morning of Thursday, October 7 in the Lower School Discovery Center. Upper School students can drop in any time between 7:45-11:45 a.m. Please note that once a student has a retake, the original proofs from earlier in the year will no longer be available for purchase or use in the yearbook.

Seniors:

During the month of October, Ms. Evans will be returning from maternity leave at a reduced schedule, with full-time hours beginning on November 1st, so that she can help with college essays. Sessions will be offered starting the morning of Friday, October 1st (that’s right, you can get some essay help before the afternoon homecoming festivities!).

Students can meet with Ms. Evans at any stage in the essay writing process. You can brainstorm together, look over drafts, address revisions, or tackle the supplemental essays. You do not need to send her work ahead of time–just bring your questions, drafts if you have them, and an open mind!

There are lots of sessions open starting next week (and one left on Friday). Please click here to access the College Essay Google Calendar for upcoming slots. Reach out to Ms. Evans if you have any questions, concerns, or issues accessing the calendar.
