Our second annual 72 Hr Theatre event is September 11-13. Participating Secondary students will collaborate to produce a show—from start to finish—in just three days! Students should sign up for a team on the signup sheet by the study hall room, and get a permission slip on the 4th floor. The fee for participating is 120 RMB. The permission slip should be returned to Ms. Goddard, and the fee paid to the Finance office, by Friday, September 5.
Families are invited to attend the performance at 18:00 on Saturday, September 13.

How to use Canvas
We’re excited to invite you to a parent workshop about using Canvas on Monday, September 8. We will offer the same workshop for two convenient times for you to choose from:
Times: 14:00–15:00 and 19:00-20:00
Location: PAB Buffalo Room (formerly the 1st floor music room)
Canvas is our school's online learning platform where parents can view their child's course materials, assignments and grades to stay informed about their child's academic progress. If you’d like to learn more about how to use Canvas, this session is for you! Our principals will guide you through logging in to your Canvas account and navigating Canvas for Elementary and Secondary students.

Student drop-off safety guidelines
We are committed to ensuring the safety of all our students. Please note the following guidelines for the designated bus lane in front of the main lobby:
- The bus lane area painted in yellow is reserved for quick student drop-offs during the school day.
- Do not allow your child to exit the vehicle if you are stopped on the left side of the road. This poses a safety risk.
- We kindly ask all parents and visitors not to park in the bus lane at any time.
Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and efficient drop-off process.

Picture Day
Picture Day will be on September 9 and 11. Individual student photos will be on Tuesday and group photos (classroom and all school photo) will be on Thursday.
Students must wear their uniform polo for all photos - white and green are both okay to wear. If it is PE day, students must bring their polo uniform to change into for the photo. The backdrop for the individual photo will be white.

Date | Grades |
---|---|
September 8-12 | Grades 3-8 |
September 15-19 | Kindergarten + Grades 1-2 |

Lost and Found
Did you know we have a Lost and Found area? It is located in the cabinet at the entrance to the cafeteria. If your child has misplaced an item, they are welcome to check this spot. Please note that any items left in the Lost and Found will be discarded at the end of each quarter.
