Newsletter of the 7th November 2014

Dear Parents,

It is a pleasure for teachers to see smiling faces back at school after the half-term break.  We will all continue the rest of the term fresh and eager to learn and share ideas.

Interschool Debate Contest

The American Cultural Centre of Cotonou has once again organized the Interschool Debate Contest, the first phase of which is to take place on Wednesday, 19th November.  We were pleased to make it to the finals last academic year and wish much success to our young debaters this year.

Yearbook

It is now time to appeal to your creative talent and photography skills as we invite you to take an active role in working on the 2014 – 2015 school yearbook.  If you are interested in becoming a part of the Yearbook Committee, please inform your child’s class teacher.

Contact Details

If your contact details have changed, kindly call into school to give the updated information to the school secretary.  It is vital that we have your working phone numbers and email addresses on file in case of an emergency.

Rainy weather

As weather patterns have become more unpredictable, we find it necessary to remain prepared with our rain gear even in this month of November.  Please be advised that the school drop-off and pick-up point remains outside the barrier.  Kindly remind your drivers of this and ask them to park the vehicle and accompany little ones to their building.  We count on your understanding to avoid an unsafe and inconsiderate traffic situation on the road that the school shares with local residents and a transport company.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

Rebecca Khelseau-Carsky

Head teacher
