A Message From the Head of the Junior School – Friday, September 3, 2021

On By havergaljuniorschool

Dear Junior School Parents,

A very warm welcome to all of our new and returning families! We were thrilled to have been able to host tours this week so that you had the opportunity to see our beautiful new spaces. Our team has been working hard this week to ensure that everything is ready for a smooth transition back to school. 

This is the first Junior School, College Blog of the 2021-2022. It is published each Friday. The blog will provide alerts for activities and events that are upcoming, as well as highlights from the week that may generate conversation with your child about her school life. 

I look forward to what I am confident will be another exciting and fruitful year of learning, and relationship building at Havergal!
