A Note from our Executive Director

The school year is nearly at its end and I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to everyone who has played a role in supporting our school during this year after distance learning.

Cultivating a strong community with committed members, from families to staff to students, is a foundational element of our school. Like any community, it is met with challenges at times and the ways that we come together to meet those challenges—whether it be facing a global pandemic, meeting academic standards, or addressing discipline issues—shapes the spirit of our school. In the spirit of recognizing our collective contributions, I would like to say THANK YOU!

THANK YOU…to all the families who choose to be a part of this alternative learning community and for contributing so much (time, heart, skills and more!) to support not only your children, but also all the others who are part of the Pacific School.

THANK YOU…to our staff for your flexibility in meeting the challenges of this past year and continually adapting to meet the needs of our students and families in the best ways you can.

THANK YOU…to our students for showing up ready to learn new things, lending a hand of support when someone is in need, and being a contributing member of our school.

THANK YOU…to our Governance Council for stepping up to support our school in a leadership capacity (and reviewing all of the many, many plans!).

In my role as Executive Director, I am committed to continuing to build our school community with a focus on supporting our staff, creating dynamic learning opportunities for our students, and making the best use of our resources.

I hope you enjoy the end of year celebrations and summer break!

-Jen
