Message from the Leadership Team
Greetings from your Leadership Team!
You May Have Noticed
When you returned from break, you may have noticed some physical changes to our school. While we were away, a gate has been installed in both the lower and upper schools near the CAFE. This gate replaced the existing chain link fence in the back, as well as enclosed the Upper School Quad area.
We want our kids to be kids. Play basketball, hang out on the quad etc., and so we put up the privacy screen in order to make that happen for them! By enclosing the Quad area, we are able to provide our upper school learners with a basketball net, and we’re working with them to plan additional recreational equipment. The upper school learners can still follow our on/off campus policy.
Taking Care of Our Planet = Reusable Water Bottles
After taking count of the amount of plastic cups (500+) our school uses daily in the CAFE, we realized that we could do better as a school in regards to conservation. We could be better at taking care of our planet. In this effort, we are asking our learners and families to help us in this by bringing reusable water bottles rather than us continuing to use plastic cups which are harmful to our environment. This way, our learners can refill their bottles in the CAFE and at the water fountains, and also practice two valuable skills. One: using resources wisely. Two: being responsible for their belongings.
Over the break, we will replace the outside fountain with a new water bottle/refillable one. We currently have two of these installed on campus (in upper school and on the second floor of the lower school.) Learners may use CAFE water too. In the meantime, if your learner forgets her refillable bottle, the CAFE can provide a paper cup. We hope in January to have 100 percent of our learners, families, and staff on board. Finally, water bottles will also be available for a nominal price when we return.
