Weekly Update, Wednesday, 22 February 2017

Dear colleagues,
Welcome back to a short week of learning. I hope you had a successful and relaxing four-day-weekend and we can all get through the rest of the week smoothly. This week will be busy with Tania working with the specialists. Thank you for your flexibility in making this work for everyone. On Wednesday, the entire ES faculty will have an opportunity to learn from Tania’s expertise. Thursday parents will get together with Heikki and Yoshiko to explore how to best support their children in creating and maintaining a culture of kindness. Finally, we will finish the week with an assembly. Have a great week!
