Dear UISG Families,
As we look ahead to another exciting week, I want to first take a moment to say THANK YOU to all the Early Years families who joined us today for our first UN Day Celebration. It was truly wonderful to see so many of you come together to celebrate our diverse community. A special THANK YOU goes out to our amazing Early Years Team and parent volunteers who put in countless hours to organize this event. Your dedication and hard work made the day a memorable celebration for everyone!
Today, we also welcome back our Primary students from camp, where they have surely created lasting memories, strengthened their friendships, and probably need some rest! We can’t wait to hear all about their adventures.
Additionally, we are thrilled to be hosting the ACAMIS volleyball tournament at UISG next week. GO UISG WOLVES!
Looking ahead to Monday, we will hold a Deep Dive into Inquiry session with parents (in English). This will be an engaging opportunity to explore our inquiry-based learning approach and how it benefits our students for the future.
On Friday, please join us for our Parent Coffee Morning, where we will be focusing on the Performing Arts. This is a great chance for parents to connect and learn more about the exciting programs we have in place.
Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school community. We have so much to look forward to in the coming weeks!
Yours in Education,
Dr. Daniel Mullen
Head of School Utahloy International School Guangzhou
亲爱的UISG家长们：
在我们迎接即将到来的又一周的激动人心的活动之前，我想先花点时间向所有参加我们首次联合国日庆祝活动的学前教育家庭表示感谢。看到大部分家长聚集在一起庆祝我们多元化的社区，真是太棒了！特别感谢我们出色的学前教育团队和家长志愿者们，他们花了很多的时间来组织这次活动。他们辛勤的奉献和付出让今天的庆祝活动成为了大家一次难忘的经历！
今天，我们也欢迎小学部的学生们从夏令营归来，在那里他们一定创造了难忘的回忆，巩固了彼此的友谊，可能也需要一些休息！我们迫不及待地想听听他们的冒险故事。
此外，下周将在UISG举办ACAMIS排球锦标赛。我们非常兴奋，UISG狼队加油！
下周一，我们将与家长们（用英语）举行一次深入探讨探究式学习的会议。这将是一个很好的机会去入了解我们的探究式学习方法以及它如何为学生的未来带来益处。
下周五，请加入我们的家长咖啡晨会，这次晨会我们将重点讨论表演艺术。这是家长们相互交流和更好了解我们提供的激动人心的项目的好机会。
感谢您一如既往对我们学校社区的支持和参与。接下来的几周里，我们还有很多值得期待的事情！
谨以致意，
Dr. Daniel Mullen 校长

Friday October 25th
What a busy and fun week everyone has had. Camps and UN Day were incredibly exciting for all our students. I have to give a HUGE shoutout to all our teachers who make these events possible and give 110% to not only organising them but to joining in and truly showing their passion and dedication to our students. THANK YOU!!

A huge THANK YOU to all those parents who have come for the PYP workshops, it’s so wonderful seeing so many of you attending.
November is just around the corner and we have some exciting workshops and a book study coming up…
家长研讨会

MAP Assessments
We have had a few inquiries as to the MAP assessment schedule for this year. We will have 2 times for MAP testing, August and February. Please see below for an explanation as to the rationale behind this decision:
As an International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IBPYP) school, our assessment philosophy focuses more on monitoring learning and using data to inform our teaching practices. This approach is aligned with the IB’s “From Principles to Practice” guide, which emphasizes that the key function of assessment is to support teaching and learning.
Based on this framework, we have adjusted the MAP testing schedule to two times per year – in August and February. This change allows us to have a mid-point assessment during the academic year, which provides valuable data that our teachers can use to identify and address the individual learning needs of our students. When standardized assessments are administered later in the year, it leaves very little time for us to respond to the results before the summer break. We made this decision based on student needs and to maximize learning time. Please also know that we have other ongoing assessments, and that MAP is only one data point of many.
MAP 学业成长评估测验
我们研究了今年的 MAP 学业成长评估测验时间表。我们决定在8月和2月进行2次 MAP 测试。请参阅下文以了解此决定背后的原因：
作为一所国际文凭小学项目（IBPYP）学校，我们的评估理念更侧重于监控学习并使用数据来指导我们的教学实践。这种方法与 IB 的“从原则到实践”指南相一致，该指南强调评估的关键功能是支持教学和学习。
基于此框架，我们将 MAP 测试时间表调整为每年两次-8月和2月。这一变化使我们能够在学年期间进行中期评估，这提供了宝贵的数据，我们的教师可以使用这些数据来识别和解决学生的个人学习需求。当标准化评估在学年晚些时候进行时，我们在暑假前几乎没有时间对结果做出回应。我们根据学生的需求并最大化学习时间做出了这一决定。还请知悉，我们还有其他正在进行的评估，MAP 只是众多数据点中的一个。

Dear Parents and Guardians,
Thank you to those who were able to attend the parent-teacher-student conferences this week. The home-school partnership is a vital part of the support that we can give your children, so thank you again for helping us build those relationships. If you have any feedback on the conferences please do let me know.
Last weekend our MUN students attended the SISMUN conference at Shekou International School, and of the 11 students who participated, they received 7 awards or honourable mentions between them.
亲爱的家长和监护人,
感谢参加本周家长会。家校合作是我们为您的孩子提供支持的重要组成部分，所以再次感谢您帮助我们建立这些关系。如果您对家长会有任何反馈，请告诉我。
上周末，我们的MUN学生参加了在蛇口国际学校举行的SISMUN会议，在11名参会的学生中，他们获得了7个奖项或荣誉奖。
Student Council Elections
Today we had the Year level representative elections for the Student Council. A number of students in each Year level stood for election and gave a speech to their Year group. The election results will be announced on Monday to the candidates. Those who stood for election will then be eligible to stand for the President and Vice President positions. They will have a week to campaign before their election on Thursday November 7th. Being on the Student Council is one of the key opportunities students have to ensure their voice is heard, and it fits directly with one of our Strategic goals of developing student agency in responsible decision making at all levels of the school [Strategic Plan 3.1]
学生会选举
今天我们举行了学生会的年级代表选举。每个年级都有一些学生参加选举，并向他们的年级小组发表演讲。选举结果将于周一向候选人宣布。参加选举的人将有资格竞选会长和副会长职位。在11月7日星期四的选举之前，他们将有一周的时间进行竞选活动。加入学生会是学生们确保自己的声音被听到的重要机会之一，它直接符合我们的战略目标，即在学校各级负责任的决策中发展学生代理[战略计划3.1]
