Principal's Message

August 23rd, 2018 Dear Sea Cliff School Families, We hope that you have enjoyed a peaceful and refreshing summer season! We are excited to welcome you back to Sea Cliff School for the 2018-2019 school year! Every new school year brings with it the power and inspiration of a fresh start. At the same time, it is important to build on the success of past efforts. As we reconvene our work with students, we will continue to explore our powerful question of focus from last year: “How can we empower students to transfer their learning to new and challenging situations with mastery, independence and confidence?” Not only does this question pertain to all areas of student growth (academic, artistic, athletic, social and emotional) but it also empowers students to reach their highest potential and to connect what they learn inside of school, to their lives outside of school. As we began to focus on the question above, we discovered how students can develop and draw upon their communication and thinking Superpowers as learners and as citizens to work towards mastery, independence, confidence and transfer. We created new opportunities for students to voice their opinions and creative ideas in the school community and provided students with the opportunity to reflect on, discuss and examine their own ideas and new learning. We are energized to keep the terrific momentum of last year’s work going and begin our journey on September 5th and continue along the path of relevant, inspiring, student-driven learning. Please see the specific information below about our opening week and the upcoming school year. We wish you a positive and fulfilling school year! Sincerely, Dr. Zublionis, SCS Faculty and SCS Staff
