August 2025 Edition
Dear Little School Families,
I hope you are enjoying a fun and restful summer! I’m so excited to welcome you back in just a few short weeks for the start of the 2025–2026 school year. This year promises to be one of growth, learning, and new adventures for all of our students. We’ll continue to build on the strong sense of community that makes the Little School so special — and I can’t wait to see our Little School Labs back in action, learning and growing together!
A special welcome to all of our new students and families — we’re so happy you’re joining the Little School community!
I will be sharing some important information now and in the weeks to come. You will receive these newsletters periodically. Please take a moment to review the events and notes shared, as staying informed helps us work together to support your child's success. If you ever have any questions, I’m always happy to help — my contact information can be found at the bottom of this newsletter!
Best,
Julie Fahey, Principal
