Lower School Update - October 15, 2018

Thank You Parents!
Last week our teachers were honored to have a week to celebrate them. Thank you parents for creating such a wonderful and appreciative event on campus. From yoga classes, to special breakfasts, a fantastic dinner, and relaxing massages, we truly appreciated everything you did to make us feel special!


The Eagle’s Nest
Two classes were awarded the Golden G award today for demonstrating respect the past week. Congratulations to Ms.  Fernanda O’s Pre-primary class and Mr. Ro’s third grade class!


Eagle Way Tip of the Week
Teaching integrity is more than just a series of lessons, but also a way of being.  This article, written specifically for parents, shares 4 ways to teach integrity every day:
1. Lead by example by acting with integrity.
2. Be specific in your reasoning.
3. Offer examples of positive moral behaviors.
4. Understand that outside influences will affect character development.
Read the article for more information about each of the four strategies.


Report Cards
Just a reminder trimester one report cards will be available on Veracross on October 17. Please do review this report with your child.


Student-Led Conferences
This Wednesday and next Wednesday we will have Student-Led Conferences for students in K5 to 5th grade. There are no classes on these days, students only attend during their scheduled conference time. Please review the information about Student-Led Conferences below to have a better understanding of the purpose and roles.
LS Reads
Families, we invite you to join us in our first whole-school read! Reading together provides quality time to bond, while showing your children that this is an enjoyable, lifelong activity. When we return from vacation in January, students will have opportunities to talk with others about the book.


You can access a digital copy of the book for FREE through Tumblebooks, or you can pre-order a hard copy (in English OR Portuguese) through Livro Facil. Visit Livro Facil before Nov. 1 if you'd like to pre-order your copy. The books will take about 30 days to arrive, so they will be here before the vacation. The English copy will be R$44,90. The Portuguese copy will be R$42,00.
