In the early months of the new school year, we invited families to join us for a Parents Night, one to meet day side staff and another to meet residential staff. Families had the opportunity to come in and see what we do here at Higashi.
We showed off our classrooms, bedrooms, facilities and talked about our plans going forward. Parents were able to have intimate meetings with their child’s teachers where they could have their individual questions answered.
Parent Nights
On the day side, families were invited to participate in the type of games and activities that their child does day to day. With our residential staff, parents learned more about the
ongoing renovation plans. Both were great nights where we welcome our families into our Higashi home.
Dear Higashi Parents and Families, On behalf of the Parent Association Executive Board, welcome to another school year and a new set of adventures! The theme for this year is Be Brave - and it always amazes me how our kids bravely face the adventure, and quickly settle into the new routine.
We look forward to seeing you at the upcoming Open Parent Association meeting on Saturday, December 1st. This will be a great opportunity to get out and meet some fellow Higashi parents and get involved with the Parent Association.
The Parent Association is off to a quick start, with some adventures of our own! The bagged lunches we sold at Sports Day were a big hit that we hope to repeat again. We provided a pizza dinner to staff who stayed for the school and residential Parents Nights - a small thank you to the dedication they put in.
