Dear 11th Grade Parents, 

The Upper School PA Co-Clerks have asked that we forward to you the
following message:

 

The Parenting and Peer Groups Committee (Co-Clerks Marian Blazes and Sue
Blain) along with your Grade Representatives warmly invite you to a parent
peer group meeting the evening of Homecoming on Saturday, October 17th
beginning at 8:30pm (or as soon as you drop off your student at the Dance)
in the Arts Center. Refreshments will be served, then parents will break out
into grade level groups of 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th. We'll have two trained
facilitators present for each grade; please join us in a supportive
atmosphere for a discussion on a range of topics that impact us and our
students.  

 

And speaking of Homecoming, the Upper School Administration and Upper School
Parents Association wish to remind you of the following social event
protocol:

In keeping with the Quaker tenets of simplicity and equity, we urge parents
and students to be mindful and inclusive when planning social events outside
of school. Parties by students should include either all or not more than
half of whichever group is being invited. Examples of such groups include
but are not limited to a grade, an advisory, a class, a team or a club.  

Furthermore, parents and students should refrain from hosting parties that
directly conflict with school dances, including post-dance parties with a
start time before the end of the school dance. The purpose of these
guidelines is to keep individuals or smaller groups of students from feeling
left out from the Sidwell community.

Norma & Shelley, US PA Co-Clerks
