Advice for Incoming Families

I am out on Spring Break all of this week with my high school junior, so I am pre-posting content for the week.

With students having just received their acceptance letters, the Class of 2026 is starting to take shape. As such, we are busy working behind the scenes to get the New Students website ready for its launch on May 2nd (note to the P’26s already in the Daily Deacdom: what’s out there on New Students now is from last year. Do not use those dates and deadlines as a guide).

One feature of the parents and families section of the New Students website is advice from families of upperclass students (P’22s-P’25s). You can help me a lot by taking a couple of minutes to provide your best advice to incoming families on this form. We’ll compile the best answers and share them with our P’26s on the New Students site when it goes live.

Thank you in advance for helping provide good guidance to our new families!
