Resident Parent Weekend
To the Parents of our Resident Students:
It is my pleasure to invite you to “pack your bags” and join us in attending the second annual Bolles Resident Parent Weekend on October 10-12, 2007. We have established a weekend especially designed for our boarders’ parents so that you may gain a better understanding of “dorm life” and the sense of community that your child is experiencing at Bolles. We hope that you will find the program informative and among many other things, helpful in matching faces with phone voices and e-mail contacts. We have arranged for you to meet faculty members, advisors, college counselors, administrators, coaches, dining services, and others. You may arrange your schedule to match your questions and specific needs or concerns.
I know many of you are far away and may not be able to join us, but if you can fit it into your schedule, I am sure you will find this most beneficial. We want you to feel that you are a part of your child’s school—even if it’s from a distance—and meet the people that are having an impact on your child’s life every day.
Mark your calendars and “pack your bags!” We look forward to seeing you.
Best Regards,
John E. Trainer, Jr., Ph.D.
President and Head of School
