Weekly Update, Monday, 30 September, 2024



Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to October! Thank you for welcoming our parents to the Peek into Learning visits in the classrooms. Parents were impressed with what they saw, and many even wished they could have a second chance to attend an elementary school like ours.

Congratulations to Ellen, Yoshiko, and Yuka for once again running the most popular series of parent workshops this year. A large group of parents participated in the Positive Parenting workshop and learned valuable strategies to help their children thrive socially at home and school.

As the Secondary School prepares for its Week Without Walls, we are excited to welcome Emily Loughead to the Elementary School. The three days with Emily will be instrumental in further refining our literacy practices. Thank you to everyone for your flexibility in accommodating planning meetings and lab sites during these days.

On Tuesday, we will hold our monthly morning briefing in the ELAC Multipurpose Room from 7:50 to 8:25. During the meeting, we will discuss the upcoming Sports Day, logistical details for Parent-Teacher Conferences, and much more about the month ahead.

Please note that this week’s Bite-sized PD on Bridges Math is canceled due to the literacy workshop. The Math Bite will be rescheduled for a future session.

Let’s have another great week!
