Dear Parents,
We had a full house at our Gandhi Jayanthi assembly Tuesday morning! I would like to extend my thanks to several groups: to the parents and family members who celebrated with us, to the students in Kindergarten, Grades 1, 3 and 4 for their amazing performances, to the students in Grades 2 and 5 for creating the beautiful artwork that was on display in the auditorium, and lastly, to our art, music and Indian Studies teachers for inspiring the students.

On Tuesday, we will host our second parent coffee of the year. Our guidance counselors, Ms. Geetha and Mr. George, will lead a presentation on being a third-culture kid (global kid/global nomad) and how making change can have a positive impact on their lives. What is a third culture kid, or TCK? Formally defined, TCKs are people who have spent a portion of their formative childhood years (0-18) in a culture different than their parents’. (http://www.denizenmag.com/third-culture-kid/). We look forward to seeing you in the Fine Arts Cafeteria beginning at 8:45.
If you have not had an opportunity to complete the student-led conference parent survey, there is still time. Would you mind taking a few moments to complete this survey? Although the survey is written in English, our Korean families can refer to this document for assistance. To complete the survey, please click on the "survey" link, using the "document" only as a guide. The survey will stay open until noon on Monday. Thank you.
We have mentioned the importance of parents being sensitive to being in and around middle and high school students’ learning and social spaces while in use by students before, during, and after school. During the school day, middle and high school students need a sense of ownership of their spaces. We are a busy campus and we recognize that community members come and go all day long. The iHub, however, is a place for students to gather, socialize, and collaborate. As such, we request that parents be sensitive to its use during school hours 8:30-3:30, especially right before and right after school, and during all breaks, which happen throughout the day. We encourage parents to use the Parent MC Café during these times.
Finally, below is a message from Tammy Oakes & Marcella Castillo, PTA/SAISA Coordinators:
