Dear SUA Community,
Lelia and I hope that you have had a meaningful and prayerful Holy Week so far. Central to our mission is helping students grow in their faith, which compels us to consider our faith through the lens of young women. As we recall the events that make up the final days of Jesus’s time on earth, we recognize that they are marked by many extraordinary challenges, including disappointments, betrayal, and suffering. These are all a part of our human experience, and for our students, these may be familiar feelings at times as they navigate the complexities of growing up and teenage life.
Our prayers throughout Lent and Holy Week have reminded our students and school community that we can bring these challenges to God. He is always there for us with his profound love, offering hope, peace, and renewal in difficult times. We hope your Easter is one of great joy and the promise of new life.
As we begin spring break, we also hope you have time to enjoy with your family and friends and rest. We look forward to welcoming our students back on Monday, April 13, refreshed and ready for the final stretch of the school year. We look forward to celebrating our seniors and the many accomplishments of the Class of 2026!
Finally, please make certain that you have reviewed the email sent yesterday to all parents/guardians and students about the daily schedule for the May minimesters. During the minimester, students will be dismissed daily at 2:30 p.m. There will be supervision in Keller starting at 2:30 p.m. for families who wish to maintain their typical after-school schedule.
Classes will also start at 8:45 a.m. on the two Fridays of the minimester, May 8 and 15, consistent with our late-start Fridays throughout the year. This schedule will provide our teachers with dedicated collaboration time to ensure the ongoing success of the minimester experience. Thank you for your cooperation and support to provide our students with high-quality minimester experiences.
Happy Easter!
Kathy
