We wish all parents and guardians a joyful and prosperous new year. As we enter into the second month of the second semester, which is typically filled with numerous activities, it is essential for parents to ensure that students do not miss school. Please keep the academic calendar in mind when planning family trips.
Additionally, be aware that dates may change due to unforeseen circumstances. Therefore, it is advisable to allow for a buffer of about a week before and after scheduled events to accommodate any shifts in dates that may arise. Thank you for your understanding and support!
Homeroom Sessions
In January, our Homeroom sessions focused on the theme of “The Attitude of Gratitude.” Students took a moment to reflect on the importance of showing gratitude and identified numerous reasons to be thankful.
We are excited to announce that the MYP 1D students won the challenge of the month by creating a heartwarming video expressing their gratitude to the school community. Congratulations to them for their creativity and dedication!
