Best wishes to our students and teachers on the successful completion of 1st semester Final Exams. Finals are an important measurement of student learning reflective of the content taught over the course of the semester. I hope that all D’Evelyn students meet their goals and find great success on the 1st semester finals. As I reflect upon this semester, I am pleased with the progress made within our school. Back in August, we were planning to return to school after the substantial disruption and varied instructional models of the 2021-2022 school year. We know that the periods of remote and hybrid learning negatively impacted student learning and wellness in many ways. I am thrilled that we have been able to complete this first semester without interruption to consistent, in-person learning on a set schedule. As a community, we have made a lot of progress in our return to normalcy in our school operations, but I know we can continue to grow and improve as a school in the upcoming months. I am grateful to our students for their hard work and dedication to returning to our traditional learning model. With the benefit of hindsight, I can now better see what a seismic adjustment in practice our students undertook to return to in-person learning. I appreciate the commitment and dedication shown by our students throughout the course of this past semester. I am confident that their hard work has been rewarded with great learning and growth, and I wish all students the very best as they wrap up the semester on December 21st. I appreciate the commitment and resolve our teachers and staff have demonstrated over the course of this semester. Just as is the case for our students, we have asked teachers and staff to adjust their methodologies and approach multiple times over the course of the past three school years. I am grateful to the faculty and staff for their commitment to student learning and growth, a commitment that transcends the day-to-day and month-to-month challenges that we have experienced in education since March 2020. Thank you to the parents and family members that provide our students & community such great support. The past 21 months have brought vast changes and frequent adjustments to our common educational and operational procedures. As a school community, we could not have found success in continuing to educate our students without the steady, thoughtful support of our parents and families. Thank you for your steadfast support of your child(ren) and our school. D’Evelyn is a rigorous academic program, and we expect a lot from our students, teachers, staff, and families. I hope that the upcoming Winter Break and holiday season will be a great chance for all of our community members to rest, relax, and recharge as we prepare for a great second semester. On behalf of our school faculty & staff as well as the Griffin family, please accept my heartfelt best wishes on a very happy holiday season for you and your family!
