The summer can be an amazing period of relaxation, travel, and renewal. But for young people, it can also come with an unexpected loss of learning and gains made during the prior school year. Two and a half months may seem like a drop in the bucket, but it can bolster or sideline students depending on how it’s used. Please join us for a conversation with Erica Clark, director of student success at the Wellington School, for a conversation around preventing summer learning loss. She’ll offer suggestions on what we can do to keep our children on track while anticipating the new school year.

Because the school year is bound to be filled with ups and downs, we also want to ensure our students, and the people who care for them, are prepared from a social and emotional standpoint. As such, we will also interview Ruth Ifakemi Jeannoel to discuss her new book, Restorative Justice Practices: Circle Keeping for Community Healing.
