  • Student/Family Handbook 2018-2019
    STUDENT/FAMILY HANDBOOK 2018 -2019  STUDENT/FAMILY HANDBOOK 2018–2019 Dear Pingree Students and Families, Excited for the school year, I look forward to working with you as a member of the Pingree community. Safety, trust, and freedom in Pingree School’s learning community are rooted in a shared commitment to honesty, integrity, and character. We expect all members of our community to take this duty seriously. While our mission statement is a living document that guides faculty, students, and staff in actions and behaviors, our handbook provides the specific policies and guidelines that seek to ensure a respectful, clear, and safe learning environment. The spirit of all rules and policies within is guided by Pingree’s mission. The fundamental purpose of this handbook is to define the commitments that we—faculty and staff, students, parents, and guardians—are making together to provide the best possible educational experience. Prior to the start of the school year, it is expected that all students and their family members review this document to familiarize themselves with policies and expectations. A clear understanding of this document will improve school-home communication, assist with questions about procedures during the year, and increase the likelihood of a successful year for all. Thank you for being an informed, contributing member of the Pingree community. Best wishes for an engaging, invigorating, and meaningful school year. Sincerely, Dr. Timothy M. Johnson Head of School The policies and practices contained herein may be amended at any time and are subject to change without notice at the discretion of the head of school.
