Dear colleagues,Congratulations to the CA APAC softball team for their victorious tournament! Having visitors from other similar schools reminds us of the amazing network we belong to. The past week was also filled with many absences, requiring everyone to stretch, and many colleagues pitched in to ensure the continuation of learning in every class. Thank you to those who helped out, doing so with a smile, grace, and effectiveness.
Celebrating learning is the theme for this and next week as we are getting ready for the student-led conferences in PreK - Grade 4 and as Grade 5 is preparing for the PYP exhibition. Both events are significant milestones and demonstrations of the talented teaching and learning in the Elementary School. Thank you to everyone for the hard work, dedication, and skillful guidance in supporting learners to show the best versions of themselves as capable, independent, and self-directed learners.
This week, the IB DP exams will start and will take place in the ELAC gym. Please take this into consideration when moving around the building and planning events ahead. In case of a rainy day recess, we will redistribute the students between classrooms and the library. We will use the secondary school gym if it is available. Thank you for your flexibility and for taking into consideration this important time for our seniors.
Wednesday's learning will be dedicated to DEIJ with Eeqbal and accreditation preparation in self-study groups. Please note that Trevor and Heikki will travel to the advanced Adaptive Schools training in Hong Kong on Thursday.
Let’s have a great week of celebrating learning!
Erin, Trevor, and Heikki
