Weekly Updates, Monday, 4 December, 2023


Dear colleagues,

As we approach the final two weeks of school before the winter holiday, let's come together to create a positive and supportive atmosphere for both our learners and one another. It's natural for excitement and emotions to run high during this time. Let's reinforce our expectations and strive to be fully present during transitions to ensure a smooth and harmonious environment.


Congratulations to Kae-san for running a very successful parent educational technology workshop and to Yoshiko and Ellen for continuing their significant efforts to support the parenting skills of our parents last week.


This week marks an excellent opportunity to continue our educational journey with our festive Spirit Week ahead! We hope you join in the fun in the daily themes. We will conclude the week with an Extended Learning session on Friday, and then, on Saturday, we as a faculty and staff can all come together to celebrate the winter season at the Winter Holiday Party on campus.


Let's embrace this upcoming festive spirit and make these two weeks memorable for our students and ourselves.

Warm regards,

Erin, Trevor, and Heikki
