Dear 8th Grade
Parents,

I am delighted to let you
know that Gail Krotky will be the 9th Grade Dean for the Class of
2017.  Gail teaches History in the Upper School and is a seasoned and
talented educator who has demonstrated great skill in supporting students and
adults.  Gail comes to Sidwell with many years of experience teaching in
independent schools.  Areas of academic specialty include Gender Studies
and Latin American history.  Next year, Gail will be teaching The West and
the World as well as Social and Political Change in Latin America.  Gail
also highly values and brings to Sidwell the training she received in
educational neuroscience and its application to 21st century
teaching and learning.  Most importantly, she finds great joy in working
with high school students and looks forward to meeting the incoming 9th
grade class and assisting in their transition to the Upper School.

We are deeply grateful to
Diana Lazarus, current 9th Grade Dean, who after 5 years of
outstanding service in this role has decided to return full-time to the
classroom next year.  Diana and Gail will be working closely together this
spring to ensure a smooth transition for your sons and daughters to the Upper
School.

Please feel free to
contact Gail, Diana or any Upper School administrator if you have questions or
concerns.  Mark your calendars for Thursday, May 16 from 6:30 to 8:00pm
for the Class of 2017 Upper School Welcome in the RLS Meeting Room.  This
event will be the first time that the entire Class of 2017 and their parents
will be together on campus, and more details will follow.

Peace,

Lee Palmer
