Dear colleagues,
Welcome back to the first full school week of 2019! The past week was very busy. Thank you to all for engaging
with the Adaptive Schools training with enthusiasm as well as your feedback and continued exploration of the
draft 9-day-schedule model. Thank you also to the Japanese team for the successful Japan Days activities and
the wonderful Rakugo show. The POI review team’s brains were smoking as they were working extremely
hard with Tania to review and design the new Program of Inquiry. Finally, thank you to Rob and the PTA for
organizing the annual Shinnenkai party to celebrate the CA community.

This week we will meet as a faculty on Tuesday. Please, find the agenda below. Please, note that the next ES
assembly will take place on Thursday 24 January. It will be great if we can have some performers encouraged
to share their skills as well as any grade level sharing their current learning. We are all looking forward to
getting back to routines with collaborative planning, designing exciting learning, and building and maintaining
our strong community of learners.
