Dear St. George's Families,
Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year. As a community of educators and learners, we believe that the best way to help students grow to lead "lives of constructive service," as is called for within our original mission, is to make clear our expectations for community life here at St. George's; we believe that such clarity serves to ensure that our students develop strong senses of personal and shared responsibility.
Our policies and practices are reflections of our dedication to consistency, transparency, and our commitment to keeping our students safe. We encourage all students and families to carefully read the 2019-2020 edition of The Shield, most notably the areas that include specific policy updates, which are indicated by an asterisk in the Table of Contents. As is the case this year, from time to time, policies or procedures outlined in The Shield may need to be revised to reflect changing norms but also in an ongoing effort to be inclusive of the evolving wants and needs of our students. If and when amendments to the master document occur during the school year, you will be promptly notified of the changes by email.
We look forward to a wonderful year ahead. Should you have further questions in the coming weeks or months, please feel free to contact the Student Life Office.
Best wishes,
