Book Character Dress Up
On Thursday and Friday this week, students were invited to dress up as a book character and join together with others from across their grade level. We enjoyed seeing everyone “try on” our ISB Values through our Character Celebrations! We would like to thank the ES Learning Hub for organizing these two great days.
Kindergarten Book Sale
The Kindergarten is still collecting books for its May 12th sale. If you have books for young children, ages 3 to 8, please consider donating them to us. All proceeds from our sale will go to support Ukrainian students attending School within a School at the American International School of Budapest. There are collection boxes near the ES turnstiles and Early Childhood turnstiles.
The sale will be held on Thursday, May 12th. All PreK to Grade 2 classes will have the opportunity to come and shop for books. All books will be 20 baht.
Thank you for your support.
ATK Boxes Delivered
This week we distributed boxes of ATKs to ES students. If they have not been handed over to you, please check with your child. If your child was absent this week, we will give them to your child next week. This time the tests were packed individually (the company seems to expect more single sales in the future – a good sign), so students likely received 11 individual tests to carry them through the remainder of the year.
Virtual Learning for Students Impacted by COVID
Virtual Learning occurs when campus is open and a few students are not able to come to campus (ie: in transit from another country, in quarantine, close contacts). Virtual learning occurs for students in the form of asynchronous learning tasks and assignments. As teachers customize the learning tasks to meet the needs of the child, there could be a delay in sending the tasks to families; we thank you in advance for your patience. Balancing the needs of students both on and off campus has been one of our greatest challenges when we offer on campus and virtual learning.
In order to support students unable to be on campus, Alex Sawaetwong has been assigned to be our Virtual Learning teacher. Ms. Alex leads synchronous Zoom sessions for students on Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays when they are at home for COVID related reasons. If you are in need of any type of Virtual Learning support, please contact Ms. Alex know: alexs@isb.ac.th
Note: Students who are symptomatic are expected to rest and focus on getting better; they are marked as “sick” in PowerSchool are not required to complete virtual learning tasks nor attend synchronous sessions until they are feeling better.
Virtual School and Virtual Learning Definitions
Virtual School is the model for learning when all students in a class are learning at home. Virtual School includes a daily schedule of synchronous sessions with homeroom and specialist teachers. Students who are not able to participate in virtual school Zoom sessions (ie. in transit or in another time zone) complete asynchronous learning tasks and assignments.
Virtual Learning occurs when campus is open and a few students are not able to come to campus (ie: in transit from another country, in quarantine, close contacts).
