All School Update
  • Reminder: There will be no classes on Monday, December 2, due to a faculty in-service day.
  • Upcoming Parent/Guardian Events: Please join us on Friday, December 6, for our First Friday Fitness & Fun Walk in Carmel and on Thursday, December 19, for our cookie exchange on the chapel deck. All PK-12 parents/guardians are welcome! Please see your Pirate Page for details and registrations. Please contact Corine Mink '87, P '17, '23 & '26 if you have any questions.
  • Community Outreach: On December 9, 3 p.m. – 4:30 p.m., Dr. Casey Grover '02, P'28 and School Nurse Erica Sanborn will be on the Pebble Beach Campus (Douglas Hall) to distribute Narcan dispensers to our community members. Narcan is a nasal spray that can be used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. Dr. Grover has been sharing the importance of Narcan during recent parent and student talks, and after the success of last year's distribution, we are offering this event to our community again. Please know that this is not in response to any activity on campus, but rather our commitment to the safety of our community and the greater Monterey County community. Click here to learn more. For the Carmel Campus, we will only be distributing Narcan to parents, not students; only Upper Division students will be able to pick up a dose. If you would prefer your student not have access, we will send an email with a form for you to opt-out. Please feel free to contact the Director of Student Leadership and Wellness Curriculum Sarah Koshi with logistical questions, or School Nurse Erica Sanborn with any questions that pertain to Narcan.
