Message from Head of Junior School - March 29, 2018

Dear Junior School Parents,

It has been a short but wonderful first week back.  The halls are buzzing again with excitement as the girls settle back into their school routines.

For those celebrating Passover and Easter this weekend, we wish you a lovely time with family and friends.

Sincerely,
Kate White

PARKING ON COHEN FIELD
We are pleased to announce that parking is now available on Cohen Field. This parking lot is designed to provide temporary on-site parking for parents, faculty and staff during the construction project. Parking is also available in the Upper School parking lot, as before.

Cohen Field can be accessed via a two-way driveway – used for both entry and exit – located on Rosewell Avenue. The parking area is an unpaved gravel lot, so we ask that you please keep safety in mind by reducing speed, obeying signage and being mindful of surroundings when using the lot. 

A pedestrian pathway has been constructed leading from Cohen Field to the back entrance of the Junior School, and is also a gravel surface. This pathway is the only route permitted for use to access both the Junior and Upper Schools directly from Cohen Field.

Please click the links below to view a map of the Cohen Field parking lot, the pedestrian pathway and recommended procedures.
