Weekly Update, Monday, 7 November, 2016

Dear colleagues,
Thank you all for your sensitivity and thoughtfulness towards our students and colleagues and kind thoughts for Peter and Joe Born during this past week. The classroom D became a wonderful place to commemorate and celebrate Page’s friendship and work as a teacher at CA.
This week we expect to have many ES parents joining the Maths Learning Evening on Tuesday. Tankyuu goal meetings are in full swing. This Wednesday’s Professional Learning will focus on committee work and Student of Concern meetings. Finally, on Saturday we are all invited to the event of the year: The International Food and Fun Fair!
Let’s have a productive week!
