Dear colleagues,
Those who attended the teacher appreciation dinner and/or SENIA workshop the weekend must have felt busy but rewarding. Thank you to Rob, PTA and Joe Gorski for the organization.
Thank you also to Saiko and the EAL team for the successful Parent Coffee Morning last week.
This week’s highlights are definitely the three-way-conferences. Parents are excited to be educated
about their children’s progress and their learning experiences in general. Thank you to everyone for the hard work in preparing for those busy days. Please, note that on Wednesday teachers can choose to spend the professional learning time as they see best in the light of being prepared for the conferences.On Thursday, when we have a half day in class, we will have teachers from Tokyo International School visiting our campus. Please, welcome them into your classrooms. Heikki has informed them about the nature of the day and that it is probably a busy day of preparation for the 3-way-conferences in all classrooms.
Finally, we have an assembly on the 22nd of February. We will only have one rehearsal day this time (Wednesday 21st) so those who are performing should confirm through their teachers with Remi and
Heikki asap.
Let’s work through this exciting week!
