Message From The Principal

Dear ELC & Lower School Parents,

We had meaningful conversations about your children’s progress last Monday during PTC Day. On behalf of all ELC & LS teachers, thank you for partnering with us to make students’ growth and learning purposeful. As we move into the rest of the year, let us continue to partner and communicate to support this goal.

We are gearing up for Booklatan 2026 on October 13 and 14! During this two-day event, our ELC and LS students will have the opportunity to meet our featured Filipino author, Ms. Robyn Rodriguez. To order books for signing, please scan the QR codes on the posters below.

Our United Nations Day celebration is fast approaching! We invite all parents to join us on Thursday, October 29, for our UN Day Program and Parade. All students are expected to wear their national costume or that of another country of their choice. Later in the day, students will explore and learn about different cultures at the UN Day Cultural Fair, which our Lower School PTA has been preparing.

A map of the parade route, which will take place after the program (weather permitting), is provided below for your reference. Later in the day, students will also have the opportunity to explore and learn from the UN Day Cultural Fair. Thank you in advance to our Lower School PTA, who have been working diligently to put this together.

Reminder: Student Digital Devices. To help students stay focused and safe, iPads, phones, and smartwatches are not allowed during school hours. We advise that students refrain from bringing these devices to school. If a device is needed to contact parents before or after school, it must remain switched off and inside the student’s bag throughout the day. If a device is seen or used during school hours, it may be held at the office and returned at the end of the day. The school is not responsible for lost or damaged personal devices.
