LEAD Together with David Yeager Recap — Webinar Available until March 10
If you’ve ever wondered how to push your child toward their potential without it feeling like pressure, or how to give feedback that actually lands, check out this webinar with David Yeager. Yeager is one of the country’s leading researchers on adolescent motivation. His work centers on a powerful idea: young people thrive when the adults in their lives hold high expectations and communicate genuine belief in their ability to meet them. There’s real science behind what makes it work … and real practices you can bring home.
Watch the webinar. It is available until March 10.
Senior Diplomas — Name Preference
We have now reached the deadline for the preferred name entry for diplomas. Please take a look at the 2026 Seniors Diploma Name document and ensure what your child has entered in for their name preference is correct. Once the diploma is given to your student at graduation, you will have one week to request a new diploma if you have any edits. After June 5, we will no longer replace diplomas for 2026.
