iPad Parent Training – Thursday, Dec. 12 at 7:30 am
iPads are everywhere! Some of us feel excited about the potential, while others feel uncertain. In our upcoming parent workshop on iPads, we will explore how your children are using these devices in class, recent research on screen time and apps to support learning. We will also discuss ways to build healthy and safe habits around iPads and technology in general.
Date and Time: Thursday, December 12th from 7:30-9:00 AM
Location: ES MPR
Facilitators: Mary Bellone and Sarah Fleming, ES Learning Coaches

This Saturday is the BIG date, please continue collecting Thai Baht change (coins and bills) in your pink ticket bags and bring it with you on December 7th at 5 PM. Your donations will be put together with the Girl Scouts’ to benefit organizations in our local community including the Nichada Workers’ Camp. Remember that there are NO HIGH HEELS allowed in Rajendra Gym so wear rubber sole flat shoes or be prepared to leave your shoes at the door (bring some socks).
KIDSFOTO will be available to capture you and your daughter(s) in your party clothes but you will need to pay them at the event for your photo orders. The Girl Scouts thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing all of you at the dance.
(Repeat notice) Cafeteria News…Did You Know…?

…Each year around this time, our very own Bakery starts making Christmas cookies, using a traditional German recipe (Muhrbeteig, my Grandmother’s very own in fact!). What makes them unique, is that they are not sweet. You just taste simple goodness and hints of butter. We will start selling them after lunch and after school at the Grind on Wednesday Dec 4. They come in a multitude of ways: Individually, bagged in pairs and wrapped seasonally to show your appreciation for a teacher or friend, or order them boxed by the dozen to take home for yourself or to share at a holiday party. Looking to do some cookie decorating yourself? Order them without the festive icing and do it yourself. All larger orders are required 3 school days in advance. Here’s to making the Holidays special. Enjoy.
(Repeat notice) After School Supervision – Reminder
Please ensure you know where your child is each afternoon and that maids and nannies understand ISB policy around supervision after school. For safety’s sake, ES students MAY NOT be on campus after school unless supervised by an adult. Thank you for your cooperation.
