Yikes! Traffic pattern violations raise safety concerns
The traffic loop is two-way until after the theater parking lot. Please, do not enter the left lane until you pass the theater. Follow the direction arrows painted on the pavement. We ask that you review the traffic patterns with friends, relatives, or nannies who pick up your children.

The Pressured Child: Helping Your Child Find Success in School and Life
Free lecture by Michael Thompson, Ph.D.
Tuesday, April 26, 7:00 – 9:00 pm
Cabell Center Theater
Sponsored by the PFA
The Pressured Child is, in fact, a presentation for "pressured parents" who have forgotten what school is actually like. It is a talk for parents who are gripped by worries and misapprehensions about their children's life in school.
Catlin Gabel has invited parents from six independent schools to come to our campus for this special event: Arbor, FAIS/Gilkey, OES, PJA, Childpeace Montessori, and St. Andrew Nativity.
