Dear All,

Attached is a flyer for the ETC 2016 coming up in March, 2016. Looks like an awesome list of wonderful speakers and workshop presenters! To make it even better, teachers at our school have also applied to present at ETC 2016! A part of the application process requires them to do a field test at school. In fact, the first field test is happening this Wednesday, October 14th during 2nd lunch. It will be great if you can come and listen to the presentation, and support your colleague.

On Week 11, there will be other field tests happening throughout the week. Please come and support your colleagues as they share about their presentations. I will send out a list of time and location soon!

Thanks so much!

Grace

In order to make duty times work during trip week, the G1-5 students need to stay in the cafeteria a little longer than usual after eating lunch. Please ask your students how they might stay seated and wait respectfully for the cue to leave from the supervising teachers. They will need to show some patience.

Thank you to Ms Neila and Ms Dorothy who will valiantly hold the cafeteria fort down until 12:55. Ms Eleanor, Ms Cherry, Ms Anna, Mr. Lockwood, Ms Debbie and Ms Jacqui W. will be ready for the second duty when the students file out of the cafeteria calmly and respectfully.

Good morning,

I will be out of school from today though all of next week on an accreditation visit. PYP Teachers – have an inspiring week on campus; MYP/DP – safe travels on your Discover China adventures.

I am attaching the schedule for the Accreditation Preparatory Visit. If you are named on this schedule you should already be aware of your meeting times. I am aiming for minimal disruption to school life but please be accommodating if there is a need for a small change to our working week as a result of this visit.

If there are clashes or issues that I have overlooked in this schedule please get in touch.

I would love to say that this is the final version but there will almost certainly be modifications in which case I will contact you if you are affected.

Many thanks for your support with this.

Provide written notes, summaries, instructions, and prereading

ELL/English B students may not be able to process oral information quickly enough to understand fully or to make their own meaningful notes; your notes can highlight key ideas, new words, etc; written instructions are particularly useful to students when homework or major projects are assigned.
