Dear Parents,

December and the rainy season is finally upon us!  With two weeks of school remaining until our Winter Break, it is important we keep mindful during this busy time.

This also unfortunately brings about coughs, colds and fevers and we ask parents to ensure any child running a fever is kept home until they have been fever free for 24 hours.  We are doing all we can at school to avoid spreading illness and we ask for your support in this.

Grade 3-5 Art Exhibition
Starting Monday the 5th December, we welcome you you to come view the Art Exhibition set up in the FAC Atrium.  All children’s work will be on display and we look forward to sharing this with you all.


Hour of Code
This also begins next week during the school day. Ask your children what they have been doing to participate in this growing worldwide event.

ES Parent Coffee
We will reflect on all the aspects of contemporary International Elementary Education we as an Elementary Section have been working on this half of the year.  We will host a discussion together with parents and also a protocol to obtain feedback from you all. Please do join us on Tuesday 13th December 8:45 - 9:45 a.m. in the BBT.

PreKindergarten - Grade 2 Field Day - Change of Date
Our PreKindergarten - Grade 2 Field day which is on the calendar for January 19th has been changed to Friday 27 January.  This is also a High School Discovery Day which allows us the opportunity to work together with High School students to host this great event for our youngest students.

Winter Concerts
Coming up in our last week of school are our winter concerts, put on by our Music team.  All children will be involved in performing songs and music at these festive events and we welcome you to the FAC Theatre for these events.  Dates are posted below.
