Out with the old– in with the new!

Hello Oneness Families,

Thank you all for participating in student-led conferences! We had 100% turnout! Our students far exceeded our expectations for the first conference of the year– big shout out to you wonderful parents. What a way to close out cycle one and prepare for cycle two that will begin when we return from Thanksgiving break! 

Over the last couple of weeks, our Oneness community has revisited our core values, reflected on what we are thankful for and paused to be intentional about what we believe creates healthy and supportive environments. Each student shared an action statement they will commit to in order to help us all live in alignment with these values. I want to personally thank all students and parents for the way you continue to show up, display these values and make Oneness what it is. We invite you to ask your student what commitment they made and pay attention to moments they display these actions in everyday tasks!

This is also a reminder that tomorrow, Tuesday November 25th, is a half day. Students will be dismissed at 12:00 PM. Please make any necessary arrangements for pickup. We hope you’re able to enjoy this time with one another and use this break to rest, recharge, and connect.

School will resume on Monday, December 1st!

With gratitude, 

Chaneé

Director of Student Affairs
