Head of School's Letter - January 2, 2026 - Happy New Year

Dear Families,

I hope the new year is finding you well. Our holiday break was a particularly special one in the Bartlett household, as we were fortunate to welcome many members of our extended family from the UK to spend the season with us here on the North Shore. Sharing this place, and this time of year, with family reminded me of the simple joys of being together, slowing down, and appreciating the moments that don’t require much more than warmth, conversation, and a good walk outdoors.

As we turn the page into 2026, I’m wishing each of you a year filled with health, steadiness, curiosity, and moments of play. I hope the break has offered space to rest, reconnect, and gather a bit of energy for what lies ahead.

A quick reminder that we will hold a professional development day for faculty and staff on Monday, January 5, and we look forward to welcoming students back to campus on Tuesday, January 6. Until then, enjoy these final days of break, and we’ll see you soon.

Warmly,
Jon
