Dear Parents

Thank you for the wonderful teamwork in educating your child. We are proud to say that across both grades, we have a 95% attendance rate for our live sessions.

As we roll out with more hours of live teaching, we are aware that there are many factors to consider and each household has its own challenges. If for any reason your child can’t make a live lesson – please let us know through MT. We will continue uploading all live sessions on MT and your child can catch up that way.

Every Friday, Mr. B and I review the past week of remote learning and plan accordingly. The new schedule will be for next week and we’ll see how things go before adjusting it. Please check that your child is ready for our live sessions.

Dear Parents

Thank you for a successful week of remote learning and teamwork. We are very happy with the live teaching sessions and the learning taking place in your homes.  We are proud of our students for adjusting so well and being prepared for our live teaching sessions.

Thank you to the parents that have given us feedback over the course of the week. We appreciate it tremendously and our constant aim is to find a balance between the pressures of life and remote learning for you and your family. Saying that, we will keep the same live teaching schedule for next week as you and your family continue to adjust to our new normal. Following next week, we have created a new ‘live teaching’ schedule that includes increased meetings times. This schedule will commence on 4th of May (may the force be with you…you’re welcome!). We will post the new schedule next Thursday (04/30).

Please continue to have conversations with your child about the use of technology and the platforms that we are using. Our live lessons and MT are for educational purposes only. We will schedule some social time as a class in the future. If they would like to reach out to one another. It should be done through private messaging in MT. However, we ask that you monitor these interactions.
