Welcome from the Head of School
September 2025
Welcome back! It was so wonderful to see so many of you at Open House. Our staff spent the summer getting the building and grounds ready and planning engaging learning experiences for the year. Now, we’re excited to put all of those plans into action!
Like your children, we’re always learning too. Last week we had four great days together to reconnect, welcome our amazing new staff, and dive into planning and professional development. Yesterday afternoon we also had the chance to train with the Dover Police Department about how to respond if there were ever a threat to our school. So, if you saw police cars in the parking lot at dismissal yesterday, that’s what was going on.
With all that preparation behind us, it’s such a joy to see your children settling in, making new friends, reconnecting with old ones, learning routines, and sharing their hopes for the year ahead. Walking through the building, I love hearing about summer adventures alongside big dreams for the months to come. The whole school feels full of joy and possibility.
Thank you as well for helping arrival and dismissal go so smoothly. When everyone follows staff directions, we’re able to get students in and out of cars quickly and safely. Just a quick reminder: please don’t arrive before 7:55 for morning drop-off or before 2:45 for afternoon pick-up. When cars come too early, it makes it hard for staff to get into the lot and interrupts outdoor activities that run right up until 2:45. Your cooperation really helps us keep everything running well.
I am thrilled to announce that Seacoast Charter School is the charitable partner with the Lilac Club Casino from Saturday, September 6th through Monday, September 15th. That means that a percentage of the proceeds during this time period will go to our school! This could be really impactful to our school and we are excited and grateful to have been selected to be their charitable partner this month.
As we begin this new school year together, I’m so grateful for the partnership we share. Your support makes a huge difference in creating the warm, vibrant, and inspiring community that SCS is known for. Here’s to a year full of growth, creativity, and joyful learning. I can’t wait to see all that your children will accomplish!
