The Weekly Word from CDS FP - Nov 13-17, 2017
Looking Back
- Winter is here and so is the cold weather. A reminder to parents about recess: students spend time outdoors before school, morning recess, as well as at lunch recess. Please note that students must dress accordingly for this. We encourage students to wear hats and gloves and proper footwear.
- Before school (7:45-8:00am) students will play outside unless it is too cold or weather is too severe. If it is 5 degrees Celsius or warmer, then we will play outside. If it is colder than that, then we will start the day indoors.
- Recess and lunch, however, the students will play outdoors, unless the weather is too severe (rain, ice, wind, temperature, etc.). If there is snow outside, only students who are dressed properly for winter will be allowed to play outside. Teachers will ask students who are not sufficiently dressed to remain indoors, e.g. no winter jacket, improper footwear, no hat/hood, etc.
- New Labs started out last week. The students had a lot to choose from and I hope they are enjoying trying something new and fresh. Perhaps they are in the same Lab as Fall season because they love it so much - that is great, too.
- A new season of ASP also started up. We have over one hundred students attending after school programs in winter season!
- Teachers and administration attended KORCOS on Saturday. This was an all-day professional development event. Teachers shared, presented, and learned side-by-side with members of our international school peers: Chadwick, Korea International School, Seoul Foreign School, Busan Foreign School, Gyeongi Suwon International School, Dwight, Kent, schools from Jeju, Seoul, Incheon and other areas of Korea.
