Dear colleagues,
As we approach Parent-Teacher Conferences, we are gathering evidence to share each student’s starting point, progress so far, and next steps with parents. Alongside academic learning, please give attention to students’ social and emotional development, particularly their friendships, emotional regulation, and daily physical and emotional energy levels. Please also revisit your notes from the Listening Conferences in August so that you can follow up on the hopes and concerns parents shared with you.
This week’s October briefing will cover upcoming events and dates, emergency drill information, and guidance for Parent-Teacher Conferences. There will also be an opportunity to share important messages across the Elementary School.
On Wednesday, we will launch our SEEDS sessions and review the Sports Day logistics.
Sports Day Plan B
Monday, 12 October. We hope Sports Day will go ahead as planned. However, if it is cancelled due to inclement weather, we will follow a Day 9 schedule until 12:00, when students will be dismissed early as planned.
Assembly
Thursday, 8 October, 9:30–10:15. Please choose a student from your class ahead of time to participate in the hula hoop contest.
Let’s have a great week ahead!
Katie, Jill, and Heikki
