Hello, University School Families!

What a wonderful evening we shared last week at our Winter Ball! It was so fun to see our gym filled with music, laughter, and so many smiling faces. The turnout was fantastic!

A heartfelt thank you to our School Council, volunteers, staff, and families who helped organize, set up, supervise, clean up, and make the evening such a memorable experience for our students. Events like this take many hands, and we are so grateful for the time, energy, and care you give to our school community. Your partnership and support make such a difference, and we appreciate all that you do to help create these meaningful opportunities for our children.

Staffing Update – Ms. Gibson

We are excited to share that Ms. Tracey Gibson has accepted an acting position as an Inclusive Education Learning Leader until the end of June. This is a wonderful professional opportunity, and we are so proud of her as she steps into this new role. Her last day at University School will be March 4.

While we will certainly miss Ms. Gibson's care, dedication, and commitment to her students and our broader school community, we are excited for her and know she will make a positive impact in this new capacity.

We are pleased to share that Ms. Leisha Dadlani will be taking over Ms. Gibson's class from March 9 through June 30. Some of you may remember that Ms. Dadlani has worked in our school previously, and we are thrilled to welcome her back. She already knows our community and many of our students, which will help ensure a smooth and supportive transition.

Ms. Gibson and Ms. Dadlani will work closely together to support continuity of learning, classroom routines, and student well-being during this transition. Please join us in congratulating Ms. Gibson on this exciting next step, and in warmly welcoming Ms. Dadlani back to University School.
