Grand Friends' Day 2026

Coffee social, classroom visits, and a special gathering, featuring student performances.

We celebrate this day by asking students to invite grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, or special adult friends to spend the morning with them at Glen Urquhart School. The day begins with a coffee reception for guests in Braemar. Guests will then join the students in their classrooms. Following the classroom visits, there will be an all school celebration and concert. Parents are invited to attend the concert, which begins at 11:00 a.m.

Registration for all Grand Friends is required.

This special occasion is considered a “dress-up” day. Blue jeans, shorts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, and flip-flops are not allowed on dress-up days. Normal dress guidelines still apply.

Dismissal will be at 12:00 p.m. Lower school students are dismissed from their classrooms and upper school students from the back parking lot.  There is no AfterSchool. The bus will depart at noon.

As a reminder, students in eighth grade do not participate in Grand Friends’ Day.
