Colour Pencils / 色鉛筆について

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We have noticed that many students in Grades 1–9 are not bringing colour pencils to Summer School. As they are often needed for class activities, we kindly ask that you ensure your child brings a set of colored pencils every day.

Please also take a moment to review the list of required items in the Summer School Handbook.

Thank you for your cooperation.

保護者の皆さまへ

サマースクールにおいて、小学１年生から中３年生の多くの生徒が色鉛筆を持参していない状況が見受けられます。授業で使用する機会が多いため、お子さまが毎日色鉛筆を持って登校するようご協力をお願いいたします。

あわせて、サマースクールのハンドブックに記載されている持ち物リストも今一度ご確認ください。

どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

Important Notice: Taxi Drop-off and Pick-up Procedures タクシーで登下校する際の注意事項

Dear Parents and Guardians,

If you use a taxi to bring your child to and from school, we kindly request that the taxi parks in Parking Lot #1. To ensure the safety of all, CIS has a policy that prohibits dropping off or picking up children on the streets around the school, especially at school gates.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

保護者の皆さま

お子さまの登下校にタクシーをご利用の際は、第1駐車場に停車していただくようお願いいたします。すべての方の安全を守るため、CISでは学校周辺の道路、特に校門付近での車の乗降を禁止しております。

ご理解とご協力のほど、よろしくお願い申し上げます。
