Our coordinator of diversity, equity & inclusion Linda C and our director of Global Programs Glen T are an unstoppable pair of change agents - the matching t-shirts are awesome ! @OfficialMCDS

Incredible turnout of student leaders to help the transition for new parent and student orientations. School leaders provided overviews of academics, advisory, time management, resources, clubs and athletics and policies in our Upper School 101 workshop. #proudUSdirector

One of many important articles about social media pressure on teens. Must reads for all parents!

[Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) @hgse]

“Many of the pressures teenagers feel from social media are actually consistent with developmentally normal concerns around social standing and self-expression. Social media can certainly exacerbate these anxieties.” https://t.co/7qbQ19Q2gz

Yesterday new coordinator of diversity, equity, and inclusion @OfficialMCDS delivered a powerful 2-hr program for her colleagues on building a toolkit for courageous conversations. Only 10 days on the job, and Linda C knew exactly what we needed. #justice #courage

Ended today with teambuilding in escape rooms! What better way to exercise communication, critical thinking, and problem solving with your team. Always refreshing to see how each person’s strengths lend themselves to solving a problem #teambuilding #escaperoom

Great morning getting to know each other as we strengthen our team and share profound discussions about our Purpose, Vision, and Culture. So impressed with these sophisticated and passionate educators!

[Miami Country Day Upper School @CDUpperSchool]

Even Upper School Directors get the first-day butterflies! It was an inspiring day welcoming back our teachers today. Energy & Excitement is palpable. T-minus 7 days to welcome back students!

Inspired by a wonderful moment between Mariandl Hufford, Head of School, and the new faculty as she shared Peter Gow’s “Letter to New Teachers.” Looking forward to embarking on this exciting, new journey at MCDS with them!

It’s a new day at Country Day! Just wrapped up the 2-day One School Committee leadership retreat. Feeling invigorated to start the new school year with this remarkable team!
