Hi Maureen,

I wanted to thank you for a lovely and informative visit to your school. Natalie and Hunter were able to see first hand and appreciate the greatness of Field. We loved the engaged faculty and saw how the students were relaxed and enjoyed learning. Hunter told me after school today that when he saw his sister in the hallway she said "don't you wish we were at The Field School today?" 

We would very much like to continue with the application process. I know it is a busy time all around but please let me know how to proceed. 

Kindly,
Hallie

I'll schedule these for 10:15 (Hunter) and 10:45 (Natalie). The visit will conclude for everyone after the second interview (approximately 11:15).

>>> I will ask our security team to reserve one parking space at the top of the hill across from the Main Entrance. If you need additional parking, please let me know. When you arrive on campus, please check in at the Main Office (enter through the gray/silver rotunda, under the sign that says "The Field School") and I will meet you all there. I'll also make a note regarding Natalie's limited mobility (which shouldn't be a problem); if your family has any additional needs (security or otherwise), please let me know. Our campus is a closed campus, on a very steep grade (please wear comfortable walking shoes!)

>>> Lastly, it would be helpful for me to know a bit more about Hunter's and Natalie's interests (either academically or outside of school) so that we can pair them with students who may have similar interests. If you have a moment to respond before Friday of this week with a few notes, please do so.

>>> Please don't hesitate to be in touch if you have any questions or concerns, or if we need to adjust the schedule in any way.

Ideally, I'd love to have you visit before May 19 (after that time, we shift into "end-of-year" mode and it's difficult to really get a feel for a "normal" school day.) In a regular admissions cycle, we most often tour parents before the students visit, but if you'd like to arrange for Natalie and Hunter to complete their shadow visit on the same day that you're touring, we can certainly make that happen. If they cannot come to DC with you at this time, we can also arrange to interview them via FaceTime instead (should you proceed with an application).

I realize you are a very small school and may have a cap in either or both grades that may already be maxed. I'm hoping that we can talk and tour and have the kids visit for the day to experience what Field is about. We will moving to DC this summer and hope to be enrolled in a school where they will be happy and can thrive. Natalie and Hunter have currently been at The Tatnall School, a small private school in Wilmington, Delaware since PK. The last 4 years have been very difficult for them as they lost their father 2 years ago after a battle with Cancer. They are both vibrant and resilient children who have so much to offer - yet need a close and intimate environment. From hearing about your school and reading your website, I am excited to visit your campus.
