This Week at Tandem - week of August 25 (8/29/25)

This second and first full week of school brought many things with it - school photos, parent meetings, sports meetings, a full week of classes, some exciting and winning first games of the season, the first meetings for worship of the year, the first LRC sessions, and a sense of normalcy as we settle into the schedule. New students and faculty are finding their way around campus more easily and it already seems like we've all been here together for quite awhile. Upper Schoolers held a Club Fair and Experience Week trip meetings, and also focused some community time on Kindness. Middle Schoolers had counselor checkins and talked about division norms and expectations during Community Time.

Parent meetings by grade began this week, with four grades of parents coming to campus to learn more about their students' academic years and upcoming Experience Week happenings. The other four grades have meetings next week (see details below). The final fall sports meetings for parents and players also took place. Thanks to all who attended these important start-of-year meetings.

Athletic Director Dave Levy shared great writeups about this week's games - don't miss reading them below in This Week in Tandem Athletics. More teams will begin with games next week, and our varsity cross country team will host its second annual Tandem 2-Miler meet this afternoon. Go Badgers!
