Your Relationship to Emma Willard
ecause
we are a home away from home for our students—24 hours a day
for boarders and a significant part of the week for day students—we
work closely with all Emma parents to create the most positive environment
for the daughters they place in our care. Our recent survey on school culture
found that Emma Willard students value and respect adult interactions: they
want us in their lives with the promise of interesting and significant exchange.
This exchange happens consistently and happily on our campus.
Whether you’re the parent of a day student or a boarder, we encourage
you to continue participating fully in your daughter’s experience,
and to stay
actively in touch with your daughter, and with us. All of us at Emma
Willard welcome your questions, comments, and concerns.
Your daughter’s advisor is your key contact here, but that’s
just where the connection begins. Through bimonthly newsletters, detailed
academic reports, and personal contact, we will communicate with you clearly
and frequently. And throughout the year we hope to see you—cheering
on the sidelines, stomping your feet at Revels, teaching a weekend short
course, strolling the grounds—any time, anywhere.
Parent Newsletters
Included in our regular communications is a parent newsletter,
Parent Connections.
Parent Days
Parent Days—lively occasions to visit
each fall, when the region dazzles with color—allow you to experience
firsthand your daughter’s school life. You’ll talk one-on-one
with faculty, coaches, and staff; socialize with other parents; and meet the
classmates your daughter’s been talking about since the start of school.
