Weekly Updates, Monday, 28 February, 2022
Dear Colleagues,
Once again, well done with the conferences! It feels that finally, we are heading towards slightly warmer temperatures as well as the spring break is only three weeks away. It is a great period of time to continue learning from the reflections and next steps from the conferences and benefit from the commitment and energy from both students and ourselves.
Thank you to the Secondary School teachers who generously shared their learning around UDL. Please, note that the Elementary School Teachers to Teachers is happening on the 16th of March providing us the opportunity to share, celebrate, and learn from the professional growth and expertise on display every day in the classrooms.
Due to the shorter month of February, the month of March is upon us. This week brings a faculty morning briefing on zoom, quite a regular Wednesday session, and we finish with a bang, namely with the Grade 1 and 2, Art and Music Show starting at 1:30. Please, organize the time on Friday so that the students can also watch the concert.
In our Tuesday meeting, we will naturally have covid updates, further information about the renovation plans, Teachers-to-Teachers updates, and what is coming up in the following months. We will also share the menu of options to focus on during Wednesday's collaborative time.
Let’s have a great week!
Riana, Trevor, and Heikki

Weekly Updates, Monday 21 February, 2022
Dear Colleagues,
We certainly hope that you enjoyed the long weekend. It feels that this was really something we all needed at this point.
This week we will probably focus first on preparing the students and ourselves for the conferences.
On Tuesday we will have our February Assembly from 13:35 onwards.
On Wednesday, we have the opportunity to learn from the Secondary School teachers about their implementation of UDL. Keep eye on messages from Clover for zoom links and to sign up to the sessions. We ask everyone to sign up for at least one session during the first hour.
After the UDL experience, we can spend the rest of the Wednesday time for personal/team preparation for the conferences. Please, make sure that you have the latest version of Zoom and we recommend you practice the use of all the technology simultaneously. Do not hesitate to contact Kae-san or Heikki in case you need help with technical issues.
After the short school day on Thursday, we will launch our 3-way-conferences from 13:00 onwards.
Please, note that the school offers dinner on Thursday and lunch on Friday.
We wish you all a great week and successful and enjoyable conferences!
Riana, Trevor, and Heikki
