Board of Tru Dear St. Andrew’s Community, We are in Year Three of the implementation of our school’s fiveyear Strategic Plan, and we are so pleased to report that the efforts toward our Six Goals are very much in progress: 1. Ensuring Programmatic Excellence 2. Enhancing Facilities 3. Strengthening Financial Sustainability 4. Investing in the Athletics Pillar 5. Increasing Diversity and Inclusion 6. Elevating the Way We Communicate While this school year was like no other in history, the Board remained focused on supporting St. Andrew's administration and faculty as we navigated COVID-19 and its implications to our students, teachers, facilities, families and future. Despite the disruption of COVID-19 and the additional work the pandemic response required, all six goals of our Strategic Plan are being realized in the following ways: 1. Ensuring Programmatic Excellence: Our Home Learning Program was designed and implemented in a matter of weeks in the spring of 2020 to accommodate the shift in virtual learning due to COVID-19. New technologies were implemented, new professional development provided, and expanded methods of teaching and learning were created to support St. Andrew’s academic expectations. In addition, current Lower School Head Kama Bruce will be transitioning into a new role as our Assistant Head of School to guide our Directors of Curriculum and Instruction in their devoted work to continue K-12 alignment and strengthening our academic program. Katy Roybal will join St. Andrew’s leadership team in July as the new Head of Lower School. 2. Enhancing Facilities: COVID-19 forced us to rethink classroom space – indoor and outdoor – and amplified our need for bigger and better facilities, especially on our Lower School campus. St. Andrew’s is in the final stages of hiring an architecture firm to formalize the Master Site Plan, which includes re-imagining the Lower School classroom facilities, the addition of an Upper
