As the first semester comes to a close, I have been reflecting on the strength of the Darlington Community and the great students we have. The first half of the year has been full of strong academic achievement and meaningful growth among our students. Semester grades are now available and can be seen on the parent portal under the “Classes & Reports” link. This break is a great time to reflect on progress, reinforce positive habits, and set goals for the second semester.
The three weeks between Thanksgiving break and the end of the semester are very important weeks. It is easy for students to slow down on studies as they return from a week away from campus and anticipate an even longer break. Here are five tips to help students finish the semester strong.
I am thankful for the opportunity to watch students and teachers work together to grow, even when those times can be challenging. I am grateful for all the students and teachers at Darlington doing great work for the fall play, fall athletics, and service beyond self. I appreciate the little things like when a student smiles and tells me good morning.
As October begins, we wrap up the fourth rotation of the schedule and near the end of the longest stretch without a break. By now, students and teachers are settled into a routine, and students have already completed their first tests, projects, and essays.
The first two weeks of school have been full of energy and excitement. As I walk through the halls, it is encouraging to see students catching up after a summer away and also meeting new peers from around the world. Thank you for helping set a positive tone at home and for trusting us with your children – it makes a big difference as we begin this school year together.
