We trust this letter finds you well and that your Sophomore year has been filled with growth, achievement, and positive experiences.

Reflecting on the first half of the year, we are thrilled to see the Class of 2026 navigating the "big" campus with resilience and determination. Your active involvement and commitment to your child's education are integral to their success, and we want to express our gratitude for your continued support.

Here's a recap of what the NTPA has been up to and what you can look forward to in the coming months:

1. Parent Workshops + Events: We hope you had the opportunity to attend some of our informative workshops and events designed to equip you with tools for supporting your student's academic and personal development. If you missed any, don't worry – we have more planned for the remainder of the school year.

2. Community Building: Building connections remains a top priority for us. We understand the importance of a strong community, especially in these times. Join us for a New Trier sporting or fine and performing arts event. Keep an eye out for opportunities to gather with fellow parents, share experiences, and forge lasting friendships.

3. Support and Resources: Whether you have specific questions about navigating school resources or need guidance on helping your student succeed, the NTPA is here to assist. Reach out to us for any support you may need on this journey.

4. Volunteer Opportunities: For those interested in getting involved and making a positive impact, we have been offering various volunteer opportunities throughout the year. Your contributions play a vital role in enhancing the New Trier community, and we appreciate your dedication.
