Dear ES Team,

Way to go! I have seen so many proud parents these past two days!  Our parents recognize and value the level of care and commitment our faculty and staff have for our students– and they appreciate the time, energy, and effort you put in to making the conference conversations both personal and positive.   I am continually impressed by the energy, enthusiasm, and level of dedication our faculty and staff demonstrate every day– thank you!!

Our Fall break is a well-deserved one—and I hope everyone is able to rest, relax, and rejuvenate next week!!

Cheers,

Donna

Reminders:

  • Students should only wear PE shorts on days they have PE.  Please help us monitor this.
  • If you are attending PD, please remember to submit a leave request through the HR portal. This will help us secure a sub for the days you will be absent.  
  • If you have atrium duty during the first recess, please stay until the next teacher on atrium duty person shows up.  This will ensure there is at least one adult outside during the lunch/recess transition.
  • When you are booking a room, please factor in set-up and clean-up time on the calendar.

Class Meeting Topics:

  • Review table manners and personal responsibility (cleaning up).

Announcements:

  • Please welcome Ms. Le Thuy Linh to our team– she will be a Teaching Assistant in Mr. Dorn’s EC class.   
  • Single use plastic water bottles will be banned starting on October 22. The Student Store will have the current water bottles for sale.  In addition, the school is developing a school bottle for those who prefer a bottle without a straw. The Caterers are fully on board and plan to terminate the sale of single use plastic water bottles on October 22. 
  • Innovate SSIS:  Please join us on Wednesday, Nov 6 from 3:30-6:00 for our fourth annual Innovate SSIS event, where both parents and students get to experience our 21st century way of learning. At this family friendly event, student creations will be showcased and shared with parents, students, and faculty. You are invited to experience the creative inventions of ES/MS/HS students as well as create and make your own. Watch this video to see what this event is all about. See you at 3:30 sharp for the opening ceremony in the auditorium.
  • Our yearbook theme this year is EXPLORE– framed in an Indiana Jones treasure hunt theme.  As we think about grade level photos, we’d like to collect (borrow) some costumes and props.  Please bring any items to Truc.
