Dear colleagues,
Thank you to everyone for getting us through the week, as we had plenty of absences to manage. The first week back was successful, thanks to the flexibility and the availability of substitutes. Congratulations to the Japanese team for having yet another wonderful mochi-making session in the multi-purpose room.
The first full week of school in January will bring us Faculty Briefing on Tuesday morning, Culture of Kindness sessions by our colleagues, Toddle training for the piloting faculty, and a parent workshop for early years parents around literacy learning.
We will finish the week with a Shinnenkai party organized by our parent community. All faculty are encouraged to join the event to celebrate the new year and our wonderful community. The PTA has even organized babysitting for Elementary School aged children. The event starts at 7 pm in the Atrium. Let’s enjoy the week!
Erin, Trevor, and Heikki
