Gnu Stories, the SSFS all-school newsletter, is sent bi-weekly on Mondays during the school year, and features stories that provide families with a snapshot of school life at SSFS and connects them to the wider community.
Welcome to a New School Year!
SSFS faculty-staff participated in two weeks of professional development, community activities, and classroom prep work.
Lower School, 6th-grade, 9th-grade, and new-to-SSFS families gathered for an Orientation Day geared to set up for success!
The campus came alive on Wed., Sep. 6, as all students returned for the first day of classes of the 2023-2024 school year.
Gnu Stories: Highlights from the SSFS Community
The Office of Institutional Equity, Justice, and Belonging (OIEJB) welcomes you to the 2023-2024 school year! Our new Director of IEJB Dr. Tawanda Owens and Assistant Director Hayes Davis introduce themselves and other members of the team and share information about the office in their welcome video.
One of SSFS's core values is "community," and ours grows each year, with new families joining returning families and friends to build upon traditions and make SSFS an even more vibrant place to learn, work, play, and support one other. In addition to SSFS Back-to-School Nights and Coffee & Conversations, the Parents Association's Friends Day offers a great opportunity for parents/guardians, students, and faculty-staff to connect, learn, and have fun together.
