From the Special Education Director

Greetings Seven Hills Families,
 
It is with deep sadness that we inform our Seven Hills community about a former Seven Hills staff member. Laura Christoff-Doyle passed away on Wednesday, March 15th. Laura was a founding teacher at Seven Hills. She began teaching Special Education when the school opened in 2006 and retired in October of 2021. Laura worked for both Seven Hills Classical Academy and Beacon Preparatory Academy before moving into teaching full-time in middle school. Laura advocated for and taught many students throughout her years at Seven Hills and found joy in every student she met. She not only taught them but passed on her artistic and creative hobbies to many.  Her kind and gentle nature made her the wonderful Special Education teacher she was. Although Laura retired last year, many of your students have known and worked with her over the years.  

So as you round the corner into spring break, remember to enjoy the extra time you have with your family over the next week. I hope you and your families have a safe and joyful break and we look forward to seeing you at conferences in April.

Have a great weekend!

Kate Docken,
Special Education Director

Spring Conferences
Student-Family-Teacher conferences for this Spring are happening April 6th and 7th, the week after our return from Spring Break. Teacher's sent out their conference sign up link yesterday, so if you did not see it, please let your teacher know. We hope all parents and families can make plans to be there. If that is not possible please let you child's teacher know and we can try to make other arrangements. Thank you!


Civitas Fair
Our annual community fair, called the Civitas Fair (pronounced kēwēˌtäs), 
is on Thursday, April 27th from 5pm - 7pm and showcases and celebrates the many facets that make us Seven Hills. We have food and sharing at the Cultural Fair, research and inquiry at the Science Fair, creativity and expression with the schoolwide Art Project, dictation and application with the Latin Bee, as well as Literacy Games and Math Activities. We hope you all have it on your calendars and more info can be found at our BC Civitas Fair homepage. We hope to see you all there!
