HEAD OF THE PREPARATORY SCHOOL  \nDear Prep Families,  \nIt is my pleasure to welcome new and returning families to the Preparatory School for the 2019–20 academic year. Each year brings a unique group of students, educators and families together. We look forward to a positive partnership in our shared efforts to connect the contexts of home and school.  \nA positive partnership is established by good communication, an understanding of your child and the Prep program here at UCC. New research, constructive input from the community, and our shared experiences provide the impetus to regularly review our practices. To understand any changes and how they will impact you and your son, it is important for you to be knowledgeable about Prep philosophies, programs and procedures. Information in the Preparatory School Family Handbook is supplemented with online resources in Bluenet. We know that, as supportive parents, you will share the responsibility for your son’s school success and remain well-informed community members.  \nBoth parents and faculty should act as advocates for each boy. An ongoing dialogue about academic progress and wellbeing will help us understand your son’s distinctive needs and enable you to support his growth. It is our collective responsibility to support his learning, both triumphs and shortfalls.
