Dear colleagues,
It is great to back on the normal schedule for a change, and I hope we have tackled the flu season for now. We had an exciting few days with Tania past week. We are very fortunate to have her working with us to help our thinking and planning around inquiry and conceptual understanding. Also, a good number of parents participated Principal Coffee Morning lead by Yoshiko and Heikki. The session was very similar to the one we had with faculty earlier. Please, find the slide show here.
Heikki will continue to meet with the new faculty and teachers in their summative year to discuss their Tankyuus. You will soon get an invitation as a grade level and specialists team to look ahead the school year 17-18. Thank you for your time and flexibility. Enjoy the week, and if you haven’t done so yet, please sign up for the Student Support session on Wednesday!
