Building Together - Parent Connections Events at St. Luke's

At St. Luke’s Episcopal School, we believe that education is a partnership—one built on trust, transparency, and shared purpose between our school and our families. That’s why our Parent Connections events are such an important part of our community life. These gatherings offer more than just information; they’re opportunities to come together, ask questions, share insights, and strengthen the bond that helps our students thrive.


This fall, we’re thrilled to offer a series of Parent Connections events designed to inform, inspire, and invite you into the heart of what’s happening at SLES.


Our next event is just around the corner—Monday, September 30 at 8:30 a.m. in the Parlor. Join us for “Innovation at SLES: Introducing the St. Luke’s Innovation Team,” featuring Catherine Perkins, our Teacher & Innovation Coordinator. Mrs.Perkins will share how innovation is shaping learning across all grades, and how this team is helping position St. Luke’s at the forefront of 21st-century education.


Looking ahead, we’ll continue the conversation with two more important sessions:

  • November 4 – A deep dive into standardized testing and its role within the St. Luke’s approach to assessment.

  • December 2 – A follow-up on our accreditation process, including key takeaways and what’s next for our school.


And while these fall events will keep us connected and informed, we’re especially excited to announce a major evening event in the new year. Mark your calendars for Friday, January 23, when we welcome renowned speakers David Thomas and Sissy Goff to campus. As nationally respected voices on parenting and child development, David and Sissy bring a wealth of wisdom, humor, and practical advice for raising children with resilience and heart. This promises to be a powerful night for our entire community.


You can find all these events—and more—on the St. Luke’s Episcopal School calendar.


We hope to see you there, because when parents and school come together, great things happen.
