Though the pandemic requires us to host Cardigan’s traditional Fall Family Weekend virtually, members of our community have been hard at work to bring that experience to you at home as much as possible.
One of the most important components of Fall Family Weekend are Parent-Student-Teacher Conferences. This year, Virtual Parent Conferences will be hosted via Zoom during these time blocks:
- October 22: 3:30 - 9:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time
- October 23: 3:00 - 9:00 p.m. EDT
- October 24: 10:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. EDT
Zoom conference schedules are bring sent to families this week next week.
Also as part of Virtual Family Weekend, we also look forward to sharing a comprehensive video update via livestream on Saturday morning, October 24, at 8:30 a.m. Among the highlights we are producing are the following:
- Welcome from Head of School Chris Day P’12,’13
- Tour of Wallach, Cardigan's new home Innovative Design, Applied Engineering, and Creative Arts
- Fall Athletics montage
- Classroom & Campus life montage
- A piano sonata performed by Junkai "Tiger" Yang ’22
At 9:00 a.m. the livestream will transition from Virtual Family Weekend to Cardigan's 32nd Annual Auction.
