Dear Caregivers-
As we walk into the final two weeks of the school year, I find myself reflecting on the incredible growth our students have experienced—academically, socially, and emotionally. Many have even grown a few inches! The middle school years are a whirlwind of change for us all and the self discovery many encounter is so valuable, and this year has been no exception. From the first day of school to the final projects and celebrations, our scholars have shown resilience, curiosity, and they continue to grow all while gaining a sense of who they are to become.
It’s been a privilege to walk alongside them, and you, during this journey.
And, now, we head into Summer! The warmth and time off gives us the opportunity to take a pause, rest, and reset. It’s also a season full of opportunity—whether that means diving into a good book, exploring a new interest, traveling, volunteering, or simply enjoying unscheduled time with family and friends. Learning doesn’t stop in June—it just takes on a different shape. Encourage your children to stay curious, to ask questions, to play, and to notice the world around them. These experiences are as formative as any classroom lesson.
To our eighth grade families: thank you for the trust you’ve placed in us. Watching your children prepare for high school has been a joy, and we know they are ready for the challenges and adventures ahead. They carry with them all that they’ve learned here, and we will miss them deeply.
To all our families: thank you for your partnership. Your support, communication, and care help make this Nichols community what it is—a place where students can thrive, be seen, and BECOME!
Wishing you all a joyful, restful, and memory-filled summer.
