Dear learners and families,

As the world around us continues to be in flux, we are very fortunate to have you as part of our school community rallying with all of our dedicated staff to provide learners with the love, structure, and support to continue learning and growing together.

This week we are excited to share that learners will be participating in a social-emotional learning (SEL) survey. This survey will help us measure and understand social-emotional learning to determine our learners’ strengths and opportunities for growth. Learners have participated in this survey at school in years past, but we are very excited to announce that this is the first year we will take this survey again at the end of the year, enabling our school to not only measure SEL growth over the year but get nationally normed comparisons. For more information about this Panorama survey, click here. Please look for more information from your learner’s classroom facilitator, as many grades will be completing this survey during Morning Meeting and Advisory or reaching out to you for more support with our younger learners.

While we would, of course, love to be able to bring everyone together for our annual Fall Festival for fun-filled family activities on campus, we do have some incredible activities to bring the fun into our Zoom rooms and your living rooms! The Upper School Advisory Council Ambassadors hope to lift spirits, no pun intended, this week with our Virtual Spirit Week for learners to participate in during class time, and our Scarlet Foundation has also put together an incredible Fall Festival Digital Download Book to keep the spirits alive, so beware!

With gratitude,

The SCVi Leadership Team
