From the Headmaster
Security
Please note that we have re-enforced security on the access roads to school, especially around Citibank.
Traffic
In order to reduce traffic congestion along Avenida El Boquerón, please note that FOVIAL has opened the access road between Burger King and Biggest.
We ask parents not to arrive before their child's departure time so as to avoid overloading the access roads to school - this will allow for better traffic flow.

Primary News
Welcome back to school and a Happy New Year to everyone.
The children all seemed very happy to be back in school this week and ready for another busy term. Parents of boys please check the length of your son’s hair to make sure that it meets the expectations of the school’s rules. Thank you.
School starts at 7am
This week we have been lenient with children who have arrived late for school understanding that the road works and layouts changed over the holidays and that parents would need time to get used to finding alternative routes. Next week, however, we do expect all children to be in school in time for registration at 7am and children who arrive after this time will be registered late. Thank you for your help with this.
UP parent meetings
Parents who have children un UP are invited to make arrangements to meet with their class teachers after school in the next two weeks. These meetings are not compulsory but if there is anything at all that you wish to discuss about your child’s report, homework, class work curriculum etc then this is the time to do it. Teachers will be contacting some parents directly to ask them to make appointments.
Sports Days
Primary school Sports Days begin next Wednesday. Please look at the calendar information below to see when your children’s sports days are and please come along to support them. We are looking forward to seeing you there.
4th Grade Camping Night
4th Grade children are all ready and excited about their ‘Space Camp’ aka the grade 4 camping night next week. These brief sojourns away from home are great opportunities for us to help your children develop independence and resilience whilst learning and having fun in a safe, closely supervised and organised environment. Thank you to the Grade 4 Madres Enlace for their help with this special event.

Start of Term
It has been a good start to term in terms of students settling down to work and we all need to work to ensure our students continue to try to do their best. This is especially the case for Grade 9 to 12 all of whom who have exams coming up in the next four weeks.
Next Week is Leadership Week
As Mahatma Gandhi said “leadership is about getting on with people” and remember he also said “you must be the change you want to see in the world.” All of our students are leaders and next week we will explore issues related to being an effective leader!
Class 2015 Circus: “Paragon”

Parent teacher meetings coming up
Please make a note on your calendar to attend our Parent Teacher meetings. You will have the chance to speak to all your children’s teachers and be able to discuss their development in the different subjects. It is also a good opportunity to discuss areas of improvement and set targets with them.
Uniform and hair
We ask that you check your son and daughter’s uniforms to see that they meet our school’s expectations. Regulations can be found in the Student Planner. Please pay particular attention to girls’ skirt length and boy’s hair and we remind you that proper sport shoes must be worn for PE lessons. We appreciate your help in ensuring our students wear their ABC uniform with pride.
Upcoming school exams
Heads of Year have already started talking to students about the exam period coming up. The dates can be found on our school calendar. Although there is still some time, we ask you to speak to your son and daughter about their revision schedule so they can best prepare for these exams. Please note Grade 6 do not have an exam week this year.
