Interfaith Families Project
Interfaith Families Project March 2004 www.iffp.net P.O. Box 5413, Takoma Park, MD 20913 [email protected] 301-270-6337 FROM THE BOARD Two Experiments At its February meeting, the Board approved two temporary alterations to our regular Sunday morning routine, each to occur once before the end of this year, if possible. The first experiment will be to cancel Adult Group one Sunday and have a brunch for adults in its place. The second experiment will be to reverse the regular schedule one Sunday. It will begin with the kids going to Sunday School while Adult Group meets. After Adult Group ends and before the kids rejoin their families, the Gathering will begin. Kids and teachers will then rejoin the larger community for a Family Gathering. After the Gathering, coffee and bagels will be available for half an hour. Details were left to the deliberative wisdom of Heather, Sherri, Larry Bostian (chair, Worship Committee), and Sam Lawson (guru, Adult Group). These experiments grow from the Board’s desire to respond to key challenges facing IFFP—none more important than finding additional ways for small groups of members to meet and explore shared interests. When IFFP was smaller, this happened naturally both at IFFP events and on the streets of Takoma Park. With a larger and more geographically diverse community, we need to cultivate different opportunities for natural community building. Complementing these two Sunday-morning experiments, the Board also discussed ways to encourage member-initiated events. We want to facilitate any member s who wish to invite others to join them in some activity.

ANNUAL REPORT A YEAR IN REVIEW | 2019 “I AM TRULY GRATEFUL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY THAT LED ME TO DISCOVER MYSELF AS A LEADER.” - ALUMNI A YEAR OF GROWTH AND PREPARATION We talk a lot about growth at Outward Bound, but it’s so much deeper than just the opportunities we create for students to grow. As an organization, we too need to see where we can expand our capabilities as a group and as individual members of a crew. In 2019, our focus on these strategies would unknowingly prepare us for the greatest challenge our school would face in the year that followed. Just like ‘duffel shuffle’ when students arrive on campus on day one, we emptied our bags and took stock of what we had, what was needed, and how we could hit the trailhead as prepared as possible for what was to come. We worked with 6,339 students throughout the year, spanning 11,774 student program days. Our student outcomes report card, which has been our measurement tool since 2016, saw increases in social-emotional learning skills jump as much as 25% over 2018 and nearly 50% since we began collecting data in 2016. When combined with our commitment to delivering the Character Curriculum with our partners, used by 19 schools throughout the year, we can truly see the growth happening in the schools we work with. We ended the year with an important milestone as we transitioned the name of our school to Chesapeake Bay Outward Bound School in tandem with the launch of our new campus and offices in Washington DC.

To Students and Families Applying to Washington-Area Independent Schools for Admission in 2019-2020 AISGW Member Schools
To Students and Families Applying to Washington-Area Independent Schools for Admission in 2019-2020 To promote a fair and transparent admission process, the member schools of the Association of Independent Schools of Greater Washington (“AISGW”) have established the following guidelines for working with families and students applying to their schools. All AISGW schools and applicant families are expected to abide by these guidelines. Schools should make clear to applicants all dates pertaining to admission and re-enrollment. AISGW recommends the following timeline: • Notification Date - Notification of admission decisions shall be the first Friday in March (March 1, 2019). Electronic notification, which includes email, telephone, on-line portal or any other form of instant notification, shall not occur before 4 pm. Letters may be placed in the U.S. mail so as to be received on the first Friday in March. • Registration/Reply Date - Enrollment contracts for newly admitted students are due back to the school no earlier than the third Friday in March (March 15, 2019), or two weeks from the date of notification. • Tuition Binding Date - Enrollment contracts for newly admitted and re-enrolling students are binding as of 4:00 pm on June 1. This means that schools may not release the tuition obligation of a family that has already enrolled unless the family notifies the school of its decision to enroll elsewhere by 4:00 pm on June 1. If June 1 falls on a weekend, the binding date shall be 4:00 pm on the immediately preceding Friday. Upon receipt of an application, member schools of AISGW presume that if an applicant is currently enrolled at another independent school, the applicant’s family already has notified that school of an intention to apply elsewhere in the independent school community.
