Dear Parents,
I hope this message finds you well and you are enjoying a wonderful summer. The administrative team has been on campus since graduation readying for next year. With September nearing, this letter includes some important details to ensure your family is prepared as well.
As a product of deeply thoughtful work with the Green Vale Five Year Strategic Plan, we will shift from an annual theme to an annual featured value going forward. The 23-24 school year’s value is “Reflection”, which is fitting as we have just paused to take stock in what we have collectively learned over the last decade, and are now planning for the next. Focus on this value will provide a bit more space for inward-looking contemplation for everyone.
Campus Improvements
The facilities team has been incredibly busy overseeing a variety of exciting renovations to our buildings, including:
- Air conditioning is being completed in the Iselin Center.
- A new security booth is being installed by Gate B.
-
Our security camera system is being upgraded with additional cameras.
- Many classrooms are getting a fresh coat of paint.
- The stage in the theater is being refinished.
-
New flooring is being installed in the late day room, and the gym floor is getting a fresh coat of polyurethane.
- New windows/repairs are happening as needed across campus.
- We are installing a schoolwide access control system for exterior doors.
