25 April
Dear colleagues,
After the successful Food & Fun Fair, we are heading towards the Golden Week. Teachers will be busy with the Student Led Conferences. We wish everyone best of luck with the final preparations. Also, this week is the PYP Exhibition! The pinnacle of the IB PYP in the Elementary School will give us yet another opportunity to celebrate what the IB PYP stands for and what it offers to our students. As always, we expect to be blown away by the development and maturity of the oldest ES students. We hope that everyone will have an opportunity to join the celebration of learning in grade 5.
Plans for the school year 16-17 are getting together. We will be working on finishing the calendar and schedule in the next few weeks. Additionally, the teaching teams are almost all sorted out. I am very excited to welcome Lynette to the 2nd-grade team and CA for one more year!
Please note that due to the class list compositions the EAL team, Learning Support Assistants and classroom assistants and their placements will be finalized in May.

Link to the Elementary School Teaching Team. We will inform the parents about the teaching teams later this year. To avoid any additional pressure on class list preparation, we ask you not to share the teaching teams with the parents yet. Let’s have a great week!
