Dear colleagues,
Welcome back to the second week after the winter break.
We are slowly back in the normal rhythm of school days and the rest of our students have returned from their winter holiday trips by now. We trust that those who attended the annual Shinnenkai party
We are slowly back in the normal rhythm of school days and the rest of our students have returned from their winter holiday trips by now. We trust that those who attended the annual Shinnenkai party
had a wonderful community bonding time on Saturday.
Thank you to Rob and the PTA for organizing yet another successful evening!
As you know that we are short of substitutes, it is crucial to let Remi and Heikki know as soon as possible if you have any planned absences in mind as it will impact on whether those leave requests
can be accommodated and respected. In the meanwhile, we are working on finding more subs.
If you happened to know someone, please put them in touch with Heikki.
This Wednesday we will be focusing on assessment during our Professional Learning time.
In preparation for the workshop, please bring sample assessment tasks (i.e. student work)
that you or your team have designed this school year. If you already have something from the past week
that is great. If not, anything from semester 1 will do.
We are asking you to bring at least one sample of formative assessment (prior knowledge,
or in the middle of the unit work) and at least one sample of summative assessment.
The assessment task can be in mathematics, language, or UoI as long as it is designed by you
or your team.

Finally, our thoughts are with Kaoru, Ai and their family during their difficult time.
We have organized subs into their respective classrooms. Thank you for your support and flexibility.
