D-E 360° Summer 2022
“Your Hero‘s Journey!”
Serving Students in Preschool – Grade 12
In-Person on the Campus of Dwight-Englewood School June 27 to August 5
A Winter Message from Director Sherronda Brown
Dear Families,
Thank you for turning to us with your interest in Summer programs at D-E.
So much has happened in our lives, our school communities, and in our world, it’s really hard to make sense of the last three and a half years. It’s been a return to normal life and all of what that means: coming from behind PPE; reconnections with friends and family; and the plain hustle and bustle of “go, go, go.”
In a normal year, we would be reaching out to you to share our catalog for the upcoming summer. The following statement may come as a bit of a surprise to you, but I am writing to share that we’ve decided at Dwight-Englewood to put our summer program on pause for 2023. Put simply, it’s time for D-E as a school to just look and reflect on all that we’ve accomplished with Summer Connections and to think strategically about where we would like to go for the future.
What’s most clear in all of the conversations we’ve had on campus this past Fall is that we’ve built a spectacular and joyful summer learning community, and that our returning families and faculty/staff have played significant roles in that success. We’re hoping to capture the perspectives of as many people as possible as we plan for our future. Reach out to us with any questions or comments you might have.
By the way, our collective photo galleries always serve as a source of inspiration for me as I think about summer. For our ‘best of’ Summer 2022 photos and clips, click on our weekly video highlights above, or check out our Cohort 1, 2 and/or 3 online photo albums at right!
Best,
Director of D-E 360°
A Note on COVID-19 Protocols 2022:
In 2021, we successfully ran six weeks of Summer Connections programs. By creating a safe “bubble,” we kept COVID out and our community safe. We’ll follow some of the same protocols this summer, including limiting Summer Connections enrollments. In addition to limiting enrollment, there are a number of safety precautions we will have in place to restrict the transmission of COVID. We anticipate that masks will be optional indoors, with the exception of preschoolers. Masks will be mandatory for preschoolers indoors. Please also note that all faculty, staff and eligible participants will be required to show verification of full vaccination. In addition, all faculty, staff and participants are required to submit a negative PCR COVID at least 72 hours before the start of the program for which they are registered. The deadline for registration is ten days prior to the start date for all programs. For more information and refund policies, click here.
