Academic Check
2025-05-06
Each term, we set dates for academic checks. This is a time we encourage families to log into Canvas and recognize each student’s academic progress. Our fourth academic check is Tuesday, May 6th.
The intention of the Canvas Parent portal is so that families can see the status of assignments or grades given. When used well, an open grade book promotes productive conversations between parents/guardians, students, and teachers. Parents should not feel obligated to check their child’s grade status frequently as most students are better off with autonomy and the understanding that they hold responsibility for their academic achievement. Students are expected to use Canvas daily as they complete homework and keep track of assessments.
*Please note that current grades give us only a small snapshot of a student’s performance and do not reflect their overall progress or final grade.
Canvas Tip: The default settings for Canvas Notifications can be overwhelming and unneeded. We recommend that you turn down or turn off the notifications and check in whenever you like through the App or web.

New Family Orientation
2025-08-19
New Family Orientation helps families transition into the school by informing them about the academic, outdoor, sports, and service programs as well as other aspects of student and residential life. It is an opportunity for parents to meet their child’s advisor, become acquainted with the Wilderness Orientation leader and group, and connect with other faculty, administrators, and staff. Parents will also be able to help their boarding students move into their dorm rooms. During the afternoon, students will spend time meeting with their Wilderness Orientation groups and begin preparations for the 10-day backpacking trip. At the end of this day, boarding students will return to the dorms for the evening and day students will go home with their families. All students will meet back on campus the following morning for a full day of on-campus orientation programming and preparations for Wilderness. (This is just for students—there are no parent activities on this day.) On the third day, all new students will depart on their Wilderness trip and embark on this incredible adventure together before officially starting the school year!
