As we enter the final weeks of school, parents and guardians are invited to a meeting with Lucy Ridgway, MSW, PPSC, our school counselor, who will share strategies for supporting your child(ren) through the final stretch and into summer.

On behalf of the PGA, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who gave their time, energy, and talents throughout the year. Your dedication and support of our school is what makes this community so special.

We are writing with an update on our plans for the remainder of the school year. The Advisory Council and the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees met earlier this week to determine the School’s course of action through June 11, 2020, the last day of the school year.

After much discussion and further consideration, we’ve decided to cancel the online auction entirely in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The festive spirit we had intended to animate during the auction does not fit the tenor of our present moment.

Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve been enhancing our Distance Learning program - assessing, implementing, updating, and communicating with various constituencies. The feedback from parents, students, teachers, and administrators at Redwood Day enables us to work together to make the best choices for our Distance Learning program.

Cameron Moredock, our Director of EPI Center for Innovation & Design, is making and donating “face shields” that are considered an essential PPE device.

I hope you are all adjusting well to our new, temporary normal. Last week was quite a roller-coaster, and it feels good to have these two weekend days to recalibrate, rejuvenate, and get ready for the upcoming week. I’m so proud of our entire community for rising to this challenge...

Since the beginning of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, our team at Redwood Day, including our newly formed Health, Safety and Infectious Disease Advisory Council, has been hard at work, thoughtfully planning for various scenarios.

If you feel like I do right now, you are inundated with information about COVID-19- everywhere you turn there are updates, new media reports, new expectations, and new guidelines, etc. For some of us, we are grateful to have all of this information- the more prepared we are, the better.
