Weekly Update, Monday, 18 April

Dear colleagues,
We will start our week by a training session specifically designed for Japanese parents. The purpose of the training is to provide further information about the IB education in general as well as to answer some program specific questions. On Wednesday, we will explore the 16-17 PD further as well as share the Climate Survey Data. Additionally, we will hear an update on the status of the CA content standards and benchmarks. The Food and Fun Fair will be definitely the highlight of the week. We hope to see many of the faculty there. Enjoy, hopefully, a sunny and warm week!
