Welcome Message (2023)

Dear families,

How have you been? We are curious about how your lives have progressed in these summer months, with such a long absence from school. And we are eager to see children looking a little taller than we remember, along with many new faces to define the Trū community of the next year. Please make sure to review this handbook; it contains some new material as we implement more standard policies for everyone’s protection and refine our policies. You can find those sections easily by looking for the green highlighted sections.

Warm greetings,
Theodore
