Dear colleagues,
Congratulations on making it through the first week of 2020. It was great to see how smoothly all classes were back
to routines, busy learning, and it was notable how well all students were treating each other. Thank you for all the
class meetings, reminders, and guidance that has made such a difference in the daily learning and social interactions.

Thank you to the Japanese team for exciting and successful mochi pounding Friday!
We start the week with Extended Learning that will focus on the memorial of the Great Hanshin Earthquake.
Please, be mindful of the needs students may have regarding understanding the historical event and the potential
fears and questions they may have. It would be a good idea to seize any opportunity, not just during Monday, but
throughout the week to respond to student questions or comments regarding the matter.

On Wednesday, we are offering parents an opportunity to learn or re-learn how teaching and learning are organized
and executed in our Elementary School. We will take peek-into-learning tours to all classes the parents may be
interested in. Later in the afternoon, you will hear from the committee members who are working on behavior
intervention and prevention plans and then we will continue planning the next unit.
