Open night, arrival time, mumps and a garden party.
Greetings all YIS Parents
1. YIS Open Night
Parents are invited to come to the school to talk to the teachers, tour the new facilities, visit the classrooms and find out about the school and our programs in the annual back to school Open Night.
Date: 16th September 2008
Time: 3.30 – 5.30
This is a time for a general meeting and information about your child’s class. If parents would like feedback in more depth at this stage, please feel free to make a private appointment with the teachers. A letter will go home about this next week.
2. Morning arrival time: please do not bring your child to school prior to 7:45. Staff are busy preparing for the day and full supervision of children cannot be guaranteed if they arrive early. All children are expected to be here by 8:00 at the start of class.
3. One of the staff has mumps and is away until it passes. If your child shows symptoms please keep him/her at home as it is an infectious disease. Early symptoms are swellings of the glands on each side of the face.
4. Congratulations to Hector Camargo, the new chair of the YIS Parents Association. YISPA are holding a garden planting party from 8.30 on Saturday 13th September. Watch out for the letter from Hector (YISPA) coming home soon.
The school has started well this year at our new site with 59 students. Thank you to all those who worked so hard to get it ready for the new school year.
