Dear Primary Families,

EAGLE DAY CONFERENCES

We’re excited to invite you to our upcoming Eagle Day Conferences, a wonderful opportunity to engage with your child’s learning journey. We believe these conferences are a valuable experience for both students and parents.

Conference Details

• Dates: Thursday, 20 March (afternoon) & Friday, 21 March (all day)
• Format: The classroom will transform into interactive stations where your child will guide you through their learning journey.
  • EC Homeroom Teachers: 45-minute sessions (3 families per session)
  • Primary Homeroom Teachers: 40-minute sessions (4 families per session)
  • Specialist Teachers: 15-minute sessions (drop in basis)

Please note:
If you’re unable to attend, we kindly ask you to contact your child’s homeroom teacher to arrange an alternative time after school for your child to share their learning goals and next steps.

If your child was absent during the week of March 11-19 or the conference week, they may have missed important preparation time. In such cases, please reach out to the homeroom teacher before scheduling your conference.

Tips for Student-Led Conferences 

• Be Encouraging
  • Offer positive feedback and encouragement as your child shares their work and learning journey.
  • Focus on their progress and effort rather than just grades or outcomes.
  • Encourage a growth mindset by highlighting how challenges can lead to learning.
• Ask Open-Ended Questions
  • Encourage your child to reflect on their learning by asking questions such as…. 
    • What was your favorite part of this project?
    • What did you find challenging?.
• Discuss Goals
  • Talk with your child about their goals and how they plan to achieve them.
  • Ask how you can support their learning at home.
• Follow Up
  • After the conference, set a plan to follow up on any goals or areas your child wants to improve.
  • Keep communication open with teachers if additional support is needed.

Neurodiversity Celebration Week (next week) is a global initiative that highlights the many ways human brains work and the importance of understanding and embracing differences. Teaching students about neurodiversity helps create a sense of belonging, where everyone is respected and valued for their unique perspectives and strengths. By raising awareness, we foster acceptance and empower students to appreciate and celebrate individual differences. 

In Primary, students will participate in activities during morning meetings each day to deepen their understanding of neurodiversity and recognize the ways in which we are all different. 

This year, we are integrating Neurodiversity Celebration Week with a special Spirit Week! Please see the details below and have your child dress according to each day's theme.

MONDAY, 17 March: DOPAMINE DRESS DAY

Dress up for joy! Wear a color that makes you feel happy. 

TUESDAY, 18 March: WACKY SOCKS DAY

Celebrate your uniqueness with wacky socks. 

WEDNESDAY, 19 March: RED DAY

Wear red to show support and acceptance of neurodiverse individuals! 

THURSDAY, 20 March: SENSORY FRIENDLY DAY

Wear your comfiest clothes (including school-appropriate pjs).

PRIMARY STUDENT COUNCIL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

The Primary Student Council had an unforgettable trip to Tarkwa Bay, where they met with the Student Council representatives from the local school. Together, they played team-building games, shared ideas, and built meaningful connections. 

A highlight of the visit was delivering the donated shoes and accompanying storybook, which were received with excitement and gratitude. It was a day filled with joy, collaboration, and the power of student leadership in action! A special “thank you” to our Student Council Advisors and parents who accompanied students on the trip. 

G4 ASSEMBLY: INTEGRITY

On Thursday, our incredible G4 students took the stage and wowed us all with their Integrity Assembly! Through music, dance, and rap, they brought the meaning of honesty, doing what’s right, and staying true to our values to life in a fun and engaging way. From powerful performances to inspiring messages, our students showcased not only their talents but also their deep understanding of integrity.

A huge congratulations to our G4 performers, MCs, and the Primary Band for their hard work, confidence, and teamwork! And a big thank you to our G4 teachers, Ms. Helena, Mr. Rosner, Ms. Ify, Ms. Ronke, Ms. Veronica, Ms. Monica, and Mr. Chinedu.
