August 29, 2025: Gratitude, Spirit Week, and a Look Ahead at UISG

UISG 커뮤니티 여러분,

지난 한 주 동안 다양한 학부모 행사와 회의에 참여해 주신 모든 분들께 진심으로 감사드립니다. 여러분의 에너지와 통찰력, 파트너십이 저희 커뮤니티를 더욱 특별하게 만들어 줍니다. 저희는 지속적으로 여러분과 함께할 수 있는 방법을 모색하고 있으며, 학생들에게 환상적인 한 해를 만들기 위해 함께 노력하는 과정에서 여러분의 참여는 매우 중요합니다.

Looking ahead to the week(s) ahead, there is a buzz of excitement across the school! 정신 주간 is just around the corner, and we look forward to seeing our students show their school pride and creativity. Additionally, our Secondary Student Council elections are in full swing, with candidates campaigning and sharing their ideas for the year. It is inspiring to see our students stepping into these leadership roles.

It’s a busy and exciting time at UISG. Thank you for being such a vital part of our community.

Friday August 29th

UNC, EY 및 초등학교 가족 여러분께,

What another fabulous week at school. I asked teachers this week what they felt has been successful so far and they shared the following:

• Students settling in really well to the first few weeks of school
• Our new PYPC, Amy and all her organisation and awesome ideas!
• Collaboration among our teachers
• More and more parent volunteers joining us

What do YOU think has been successful so far?

PYP Goals 2526

I’d like to share the PYP goals for this year. These goals are not just for teachers but for the whole community to pull together and make a difference to our students. We are excited about these goals and can already see positive changes in school.

도트 데이

This year we will celebrate Dot Day on Thursday 11th September. Please see the attached poster. We invite all Primary and EY students to Dress up in Dots on this day.

Please note that due to secondary MAP tests and scheduling, Secondary Dot Day will take place on a different day being Friday 12th September.

Subscriptions

We’ve had lots of parents asking about some of our subscriptions, such as Raz-Kids and Epic. We are very sorry for the delay in these, we’ve experienced some technical issues with the student rollover into new classes and will have the log-in information to you as soon as possible.

MAP 테스트

Next week, we will have our first MAP Growth assessment of the year for Grades 1 – 5. Results will be shared with parents in the coming weeks.

MAP 성장은 한 순간에 대한 평가라는 점을 다시 한 번 알려드립니다. 아이들은 모두 MAP 시험을 매우 열심히 치르지만, 그 결과가 항상 교실에서의 학습을 반영하지는 않을 수 있습니다. 결과에 대해 질문이나 우려 사항이 있는 경우 자녀의 담임 선생님에게 문의하세요.

MAP 성장 평가에 대해 자세히 알고 싶으시면 아래 링크를 참조하세요:

September 1 – 5 (Week 4B)

Athletics and Extra-Curricular Activities (ECAs)

It is still very much the hot season, but the Cross-Country runners and Middle School Footballers have been out in the sun, training hard twice a week. A little less hot, but still hard at it, are the High School volleyballers in the MFH, and the swimmers in the pool. Also in ‘training’ is the school orchestra and legacy music groups. And from Monday, even more activities will take place with the start of the ECA season 1.

The participation numbers for Secondary students in the Athletics squads are really encouraging:

And when that is combined with the Secondary students in ECAs , it is even more impressive:

This level of participation fits perfectly with the message from the opening Secondary assembly, encouraging students to get involved and remembering that “There IS an “I” in team”, and that everyone has their part to play.

Secondary Camps

Information was shared with parents at the Parent Session on Monday August 25th, as well as through Managebac. Camps for Grades 6 – 11 take place September 22 – 26, and parents are reminded that the travel document and other information is due by the end of today, Friday August 29th.

Parent power-ups / information sessions

We have a number of parent information sessions coming up in September. Although there is a particular Grade level focus for each of these, all parents are welcome to join to find out more about life in the DP, or MYP eAssessments.

예정된 이벤트

• August 29 – 31 – PACMUN (UISG’s own MUN conference)
• September 1 – ECA Season 1 begin
• September 8-10 MAP testing
• September 11 – Understanding the DP (G11 focus) – parent session
• September 15-19 Spirit Week
• September 16 – eAssessment + PP (G10 focus) parent session
• September 22-26 Secondary Camps (Grades 6-11)
• September 23 – Thriving in the DP (G12 focus) – parent session

잘 부탁드립니다,
