Dear ICS Elementary Families,
We invite you to read Mrs. Johnson’s message on the Weekly Warrior's Home Page.
Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held this weekend, October 16-17. When you come, it is helpful to have questions ready to ask your child’s teacher. Are there specific concerns or topics you want to address? Writing these down can help ensure you cover everything important during your meeting. It’s also helpful to share any changes or challenges your child may be facing at home that could impact their school experience. This information can help your child’s teacher provide better support. Here is a great resource from the Harvard Family Research Project that you can use in preparation.
Teachers sent Google Calendar invites on September 25, so please check your inbox to reserve your conference time slot.
Blessings,
Erin Johnson
Elementary Assistant Principal

ES Books & Bonding
Join Us for "Books & Bonding" in the ES Library!
It is a pleasure to invite you to participate in this year's family time in the ES Library! Every Tuesday and Thursday, "Books & Bonding" will be an opportunity for you to spend quality time with your child/ren by diving into the wonderful world of literacy together! Come explore the elementary library, search for exciting books, read together on our cozy cushions, complete the engaging table activities, or check out books on your very own parent library account. This is a fantastic opportunity to share in the joy of reading and writing as a family!
Expectations for this time:
All students are required to have an adult attend the session, except for those students with a self-dismissal card.
To ensure a meaningful experience for your child/ren, we kindly ask adults to refrain from using cell phones or having group conversations. Your undivided attention to your child/ren will make it all the more special!
The sign-up link for every session in a given month can be found on the ICS Parent Portal under "ICS Event Tickets." The sign-ups for September are posted now. Sign-ups for each week are due every Monday at 11:59pm, no matter if you are signing up for the Tuesday or Thursday session that week. Late sign-ups will not be accepted.
If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Silber at silbers@ics.edu.hk.
We look forward to seeing you and your child/children in the library!
