Dear Parents,

TOGETHER WE CAN DO IT


We have often heard that “Change is inevitable”; it’s “the only constant”. And even if that change is hard, we have all had to find ways to accept or deal with changes in our lives in a manageable way. But this is different! The coronavirus pandemic has thrust change at us in almost every aspect of our lives. Much change, in a short time, and it is hardly negotiable! How do we deal with this?

Rather than waste time and energy on being the victim, we could choose to accept that some things are beyond our control and focus on seeking out the opportunities that the change brings.

Looking back at our journey at the School in the Woods over the past few weeks, I realize that we have all embraced the change and achieved so much.

Our online learning got off to a quick start and is going well. Our girls are becoming more confident in using the different learning platforms. Our teachers are working extremely hard to provide the best possible educational experiences for the children. And the majority of our parents have juggled their hectic schedules to spend priority time on making the new programs worthwhile and fun for the girls. Together we are making the best we can of the situation we find ourselves in, and I would like to thank you all for your tremendous efforts.

Let us recognize the valuable implicit lesson in all this for our girls – we are teaching them about perseverance, adaptability, patience, and resilience. We want them to learn, by our own examples, that if we face adversity with an open mind and a positive outlook, we can overcome the most difficult situations.

Thank you to the parents who have completed the survey and for taking the time to meet with me.  I believe that our discussions were very valuable as we are using your feedback to adapt our offerings to better suit your needs, where possible.

Amidst all this change, something that remains steadfast is the School-in-the-Wood’s commitment to excellence - driven by the values of creativity, love, commitment and respect to empower the girls, now and always.

Warm regards,
Sulochnee Nair
