New Student Receptions
This summer, a series of receptions for new students and their families will be held virtually across the country in July and August. Incoming students and their parents/families are invited to attend the “regional” reception that matches their locale. There will also be several “general” receptions for families who live outside of the regions below, or whose schedule doesn’t permit them to attend their local gathering. Click on the link below to register for a New Student Reception. You will also receive an email in the coming days with an invitation to your area’s reception(s). Additional receptions may be added as needed.
