Parent – Teacher Conferences
On behalf of the entire faculty and staff, I want to express our sincere gratitude for your active participation in the Parent-Teacher Conferences held this past Saturday. Your presence made the event truly special, and it was wonderful to connect with so many of you to hear your feedback and suggestions on how we can improve the primary division. I am also confident that you received valuable feedback regarding your child’s progress, achievements, and areas of growth.
We value the partnership between home and school, and your commitment to being actively involved in your child’s education is truly commendable.
The insights you shared, the questions you asked, and the collaborative spirit you brought to the conferences contributed immensely to creating a supportive learning environment. Your dedication to understanding and contributing to your child’s educational journey is a testament to the strong sense of community we have at SSIS.
If you have any further questions or concerns that may have arisen, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teachers or the school administration. We are here to support you and ensure the success and well-being of each student.
Once again, thank you for making the Parent-Teacher Conferences a success. We appreciate your ongoing partnership and look forward to continued collaboration for the benefit of our students.
Gratitude and Kindness Week
Last week we were immersed in a heartwarming celebration that highlights the values of gratitude and kindness.
At SSIS, we believe in fostering a positive and inclusive environment. Gratitude and kindness are essential pillars that strengthen our school community and create a culture of empathy and support. It provided a special opportunity for our students to reflect on the importance of gratitude and express kindness towards one another.
Have a wonderful break and I look forward to hearing about what the students got up to during the holiday.
