Dear colleagues,
Just for your information, you can find the message sent to the ES parents regarding BTSN.
Best wishes

Dear Elementary School Parents,
I trust this message finds you healthy and safe, and I hope that your children continue to be as excited about learning and enjoying the smooth transition to the school year as we are. Furthermore, I am sure the first week has been exhausting and the weekend arrives just in time.
As you may be aware, we are hosting an online Back to School Night on Wednesday 1 September, from 6 pm onwards.
In order for you to participate in your child(ren)’s sessions, I would recommend that you download the Zoom meeting application from the www.zoom.us website. As you download the program please give the application permission to use your microphone and camera so that you can fully participate in the sessions. Furthermore, all parent coffees and conferences will be conducted online, and by using Zoom as the meeting tool this school year again.
Each Back to School Night session requires you to follow a separate link, and you can toggle between the sessions if you have two or more children and the sessions are overlapping. Teachers will be following up on the sessions by sharing an overview of the presentations with the relevant parent groups via SeeSaw.
All we ask is to comb your hair and dress appropriately but casually as we would like to ask you to turn your cameras on. The reason for this is that we would like to offer all grade-level parents to see and meet each other. Also, the teachers would like to see who the wonderful parents are. Please note that, if we cannot identify some of the participants, unfortunately, we may have to remove them from the session for security reasons.
Should you experience any difficulties in joining the session, please email to Kae Shigeta-sensei (kshigetai@canacad.ac.jp) and we are happy to help you out.
We look forward to meeting you all online on Wednesday 1 September, at 6 pm.
Sincerely,
Heikki Soini
Elementary School Principal
