Survey open for Director search

The Director Search Committee is eager to receive feedback from the PDS/USN community through an online survey by 5 p.m. Monday, April 7.
Dear PDS/USN community,

We hope everyone is energized and looking forward to the final weeks of the spring semester. We write with an update on opportunities for your involvement in the Director search and a reminder about meetings for parents, faculty, and staff.

Our aim is for the search process to be as inclusive and transparent as possible, affording every member of our community multiple opportunities to provide input and to share aspirations for the school with our search committee. We are eager to receive your feedback through this online survey. Your perspective about the school and its future will be helpful as we consider the leadership profile of USN’s next Director. Please take a few moments to complete the survey between now and 5 p.m. Monday, April 7.

An important component of our search is  Carney, Sandoe & Associates’ on-campus visit on Wednesday, April 2 and Thursday, April 3. We invite faculty and staff to join CS&A on Wednesday, April 2 at either 7:15-8 a.m. in the Gordon Multipurpose Room or 3:30-4:15 p.m. in the Payne Library Room. We invite parents and families to join CS&A on Wednesday, April 2 at either 8:15-9 a.m. in the Gordon Multipurpose Room or 4:30-5:15 p.m. in the Payne Library Room.

News related to the search process will be shared with the PDS/USN community through direct email with these updates also posted at usn.org/director. 

If you have any questions, please continue to reach out to us at directorsearch@usn.org.
