Dear Wellington Community,

Welcome to the 2024-5 school year! We eagerly await the return of our students and families to campus and the accompanying sounds of joy that will soon fill our learning spaces and hallways.

As I shared in my video greeting, I am so honored to join a community where joy and ambition are at the heart of all we do. Wellington’s founders envisioned a school unlike any other that prepares students for tomorrow’s world, and I look forward to working with community members to carry that vision forward.

Opportunities to connect with parents and caregivers: I hope you will join me on August 15, 4-4:45 p.m., or August 23, 8:15-9 a.m. in the Doerschlag Den for a “Conversation with the Head of School.” During our time together, I will share a bit about my background, what drew me to Wellington, what I have learned during my first weeks, and my hopes for what lies ahead. We will also have plenty of time for open conversation and Q&A.

If you cannot make it on August 15 or 23, please stop by the Head’s office to introduce yourself. I would also love it if you would share your Wellington story with me via this form.

I am looking forward to seeing you soon, and...Go Jags!
Eliza McLaren
