Dear ES Team,

As most of us have witnessed throughout our careers, school cultures either thrive or fail based on the quality of teamwork that occurs within the structure.

We are grateful for the teamwork that is embedded in our daily lives at SSIS. The incredible Tết Fair that our TA’s planned is a great example of a well-functioning team’s ability to plan, execute, and support a rich and exceptional learning experience for our students by utilizing the power of the collective capacity. Our TA team demonstrated creativity, flexibility, passion, and joy– and our entire ES team supported, appreciated, and benefited from their herculean efforts. Thank you, TA Team!!!

The past few days have been another example of teamwork in action. As we wrapped up our Tết celebrations, the SSIS leadership team was challenged with responding to a global health concern. The smooth execution of the initial plan as we entered school on Wednesday, the flexible and supportive nature of our faculty and staff, and the reflective and responsive nature of our school leadership team is something worth celebrating. We appreciate everyone’s extra effort and positive attitude as we navigate these unusual circumstances.

We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Stay healthy!

Cheers,

Dan and Donna

Our yearbook theme this year is Building our Future– framed in a construction site theme. As we think about grade level photos, we’d like to collect (borrow) some costumes and props. Please bring any items to Minh.
Please remember to book our school photographer if you have a special event.
