BACK-TO-SCHOOL GUIDE
Dear Norfolk Collegiate,
Our 70th school year is on the precipice, and it’s hard to believe summer is almost over. It feels like last week we were seeing our seniors off on their next adventure. We’ve managed to stay plenty busy since then. It’s been a summer full of professional development, renovations and new additions, and we truly can’twait to share them with you.
We’re especially excited to kick off our pre-kindergarten program and welcome our newest and youngest members of the Collegiate community. You’ll soon notice they’re not the only new faces on campus. We’re welcoming several new faculty and staff members, all to supplement our expanding programs and enrich our students’ learning. Some faculty have also taken new positions within the school as cornerstones in other departments.
As we continue forward with our strategic plan, our community continues to benefi t. From virtual reality headsets to FLIK Independent School Dining to our new Math in Focus, we’re elated to roll out several new programs to engage and support our students, the details of which are included in the pages that follow.
Th e 2017-18 school year promises to be a wild success. I look forward to learning with you, celebrating with you and ringing in the new school year.
Sincerely,
Scott G. KennedyHeadmaster
WELCOME, OAKS!

8 REASONS WE’RE EXCITED ABOUT THIS YEAR!
OUR ACORNS JUST GOT CUTER!We’re kicking off our pre-kindergarten program with three new teachers and the cutest cohort of 17 students. Our youngest Acorns will learn to question, explore, think and problem solve in a safe environment conducive to social and emotional growth. We’re looking forward to providing a strong foundation from which these students can grow in the Collegiate community.
4BRINGING MATH IN FOCUSOur Acorns are getting a fun, new addition to their math curriculum. Math in Focus is a kindergarten through grade eight curriculum we’re implementing in kindergarten through grade fi ve with problem solving at its core. Concepts are taught through practical learning progressions and real-world, hands-on experiences. It’s research-based and focuses on classroom learning, discussion and practice while balancing conceptual understanding, visual learning and problem solving.
4
3 WE’RE GOING GLOBAL (VIRTUALLY)!Just short of traveling the globe, students will use virtual reality headsets to see faraway places up close and personal with the Google Daydream View. The headsets were made possible by our generous fund-an-item donors at last year’s Annual Auction. The sets are designed to work with dozens of educational virtual reality apps and experiences. Now, our students will be able to visit famous museums, take virtual science lessons and learn foreign languages while touring distant places.
BUCK INSTITUTETwenty-two faculty members participated in our inaugural Mathas Project-based Learning Summer Institute, featuring the Buck Institute for Education’s premier PBL 101 workshop. These teachers learned how to design, integrate and assess rigorous, hands-on projects in their courses. Incorporating project-based learning across the curriculum is a key component of our strategic plan’s academic innovation initiative.

MORE HANDS-ON LEARNING TIMELast December, our middle and upper school students participated in a trial run of the proposed “drop-two” schedule. It was met with such enthusiasm that the middle and upper school decided to adopt the schedule starting this year. With the change, students now have fi ve classes per day over a seven-day rotation. The new schedule allows more time in the classroom for hands-on learning and provides a 25-minute study hall at the end of each day for students in grades six through 12.
8
GETTING STRONGER WITH SENTARAWe’re running, stretching and jumping for joy over our new athletic partnership with Sentara. A Norfolk-based company, Sentara is focused on injury prevention and practices the best strength and conditioning techniques to keep our student-athletes in the game. We’re welcoming a new on-site athletic trainer, as well as Dr. Frederick Bagares, D.O., who focuses on orthopedics, physical medicine, and rehabilitation and sports medicine. Sentara’s new 5,000 square-foot Granby Street facility will provide our Oaks with convenient access to an on-site physician and physical therapists, should the need arise.
5
7NUTRITIOUS MEALS & FRESH INGREDIENTS Collegiate is partnering with FLIK Independent Dining Services to provide our Oaks with wholesome, nutritious meals prepared on-site from fresh ingredients that support local and sustainable agricultural practices. FLIK will off er nutrition education programs for our students, equipping them with the tools they need to live happy, healthy lives. Oaks will enjoy menus created exclusively for Collegiate, and the mySchoolDining app will allow the community to view the menu, meet the staff , comment about the day’s menu and read about FLIK’s initiatives on our campus.
