Weekly Updates, Tuesday, 17 September, 2024


Dear Colleagues,

We hope you all enjoyed the long weekend. It came at a perfect time, giving us a much-needed pause in the middle of the first quarter. Congratulations again on effectively communicating our values, principles, and practices to the parent community regarding how we design teaching and learning at Canadian Academy.

Thank you to Anri-san for stepping into the ES office to release Yuko-san to focus on her actual job.

Now that the high-stakes parent session is behind us, this short week allows us to fully focus on daily routines, the excitement of teaching and learning, and the CA way.

We will celebrate Dot Day on Tuesday, which promotes diversity, creativity, and inclusion. A special thank you to Megan for organizing and integrating this event into our week.


Let’s enjoy the four-day week ahead!
