APRIL, 2015

Dear Parents/Guardians, Welcome back! This past month all of our students were involved in Edu-Fair. It was a huge success with a wide variety of interesting projects. Some of our students will be taking their projects to the Divisional Science Fair and Heritage Fair. Basketball season has also ended and all of our teams did very well. Congratulations to all players and coaches! All of our students have received an application for the next school year. We are very impressed that so many students have already handed in their applications. As applications come in the optional classes fill up, so it is important to return applications as soon as possible. We would like to thank all of our parents/guardians for coming to our Student-Led-Tri Conferences. Con-ferences are an important part of sharing student learning, but ongoing communication with parents is also very important. If you have any concerns or questions about your child please do not hesitate to contact the school. This last term of school is a very busy one, with many activities both in and out of school. During this time, it is important that students remain focused on their first priority, school and their education. They may need our assistance in time management so that they can be successful in their studies. An agenda or or-ganizer can be a useful tool for keeping track of assignments, test dates, as well as other activities. Listing important events on a calendar at home is also a great way to keep track of upcoming events. Our parent council is once again raising funds through the Show and Save Books. These books have wonderful coupons for many vendors in our community. You child will have an order form if you wish to order. We are encouraging students to take orders from friends and family and not go door to door.

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically.

Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education Martin Luther King, Jr., 1929-1968

Wazazi / Walezi,

Karibu tena!

Mwezi uliopita wanafunzi wetu wote walishiriki katika Edu-Fair. Ilikuwa na mafanikio makubwa na aina mbalimbali ya miradi ya kuvutia. Baadhi ya wanafunzi wetu itachukua miradi yao kwa Sayansi Fair ya Tarafa na pia Heritage Fair.

Msimu wa mpira wa kikapu pia umemalizika na timu yetu yote ilifanya vizuri sana. Hongera kwa wachezaji wote!

Wanafunzi wetu wote wamepokea maombi kwa ajili ya shule ya mwaka ujao. Sisi tunahisia sana kwamba wanafunzi wengi

tayari wamejaza na kurudisha maombi yao. Maombi yakija ya madarasa, haya madarasa yanajaa haraka, hivyo ni muhimu

kurudi maombi haraka iwezekanavyo.

Tungependa kuwashukuru wazazi wetu / walezi kwa kuja kwa Student-Led-Tri Conferences. Mikutano ni sehemu muhimu ya

kujifunza kwa mwanafunzi, na mawasiliano yanayoendelea na wazazi pia niya muhimu sana. Kama una matatizo yoyote au

maswali kuhusu mtoto wako tafadhali usisite kuwasiliana shule.

Hii muhula wa shule itakuwa na kazi nyingi sana, na shughuli nyingi za ndani na nje ya shule. Wakati huu, ni muhimu

kwamba wanafunzi kubaki na mwelekeo katika kipaumbele yao ya kwanza, shule na elimu yao. Wanaweza wanahitaji msaada

wetu katika usimamizi wakati ili waweze kuwa na mafanikio katika masomo yao. Ajenda au mratibu inaweza kuwa chombo

cha muhimu kwa ajili ya kuweka utaratibu wa kazi, mtihani tarehe, kama vile shughuli nyingine. Orodha ya matukio mu-

himu katika kalenda nyumbani pia ni njia kubwa ya kuweka utaratibu wa matukio ijao.

Baraza la Wazazi lina mara nyingine tena changa fedha kwa njia ya Show na Save Books. Vitabu hivi vina kuponi ajabu

za wachuuzi wengi katika jamii yetu. Mtoto wako atakuwa na fomu ili kama unataka kuuliza kitabu unaweza kujaza.

Tunahamasisha wanafunzi kuchukua maagizo kutoka kwa marafiki na familia na si kwenda mlango kwa mlango.

kazi ya elimu ni kufundisha kufikiri kwa makini na kufikiri na makini.

Kuongeza akili na pia tabia - Hili ni lengo la shirika la elimu ya ukweli.

Abril 2015 Mga Magulang/Tagapag alaga, Maligayang pagbabalik! Itong mga nakaraang buwan ang lahat ng mag-aaral ay kasapi sa Edu-Fair. Ito ay isang malaking tagumpay sa ibat ibang antas ng pagsusuri ng kani kanilang mga proyekto.Ang ibang mag-aaral ay ipadadala sa “Divisional Science Fair and Heritage”, isang malaking pagtitipon at pakikipag talastasan. Ang koponan sa larong Basketball ay tapos na at maayos itong naisagawa. Muli binabati ko ang lahat ng manlalaro at taga turo ng mga manalaro. Ang lahat ng mag-aaral ay naka tanggap ng aplikasyon sa susunod na taon. Kami ay nagagagalak dahil halos lahat ng mag-aaral ay naibalik ng maaga ang kanilang aplikasyon. Sa mga hindi pa nagbabalik ng kanilang aplikasyon ay importanteng maibalik ito kaagad hanggat maari. Gusto po naming pasalamatan ang lahat ng mga magulang/tagapag alaga sa pag punta sa aming “Student-Led-Tri Coference o ang pagtitipon ng mag-aaral/magulang at guro. Ang pagtitipon na ito ay importante sa mga mag-aaral upang kanilang maihayag ang kanilang nalalaman sa kani-kanilang mga magulang, at sa parte ng mga magulang naman ay makikita nila ang natutunan ng kani-kanilang mga anak sa paaralan. Kung meron po kayong katanungan ay wag mag atubiling tumawag o maki ugnay sa paaralan. Itong huling termino ng pag-aaral ay magiging sobrang abala, napaka raming aktibidad sa loob at labas ng paaralan. Itong mga panahon na ito, ay napaka importante na maging mapag masid sa prioridad ng mag-aaral sa kanilang mga pag-aaral. Maaring kailanganin nila ng tulong sa kanilang mga guro upang maiwasto ang tamang oras o “proper time management” upang mag tagumpay sa kanilang natitirang pag-aaral. Ang “Agenda o Organizer” ay isang magan-dang paraan para maitala ang kanilang mga takdang aralin, petsa ng kanilang pagsusulit , gayun din naman ang mga aktibidad. Ang pagtatala ng mga bagay na ito sa kani kanilang tahanan ay isa ring magandang paraan upang di nila makalimutan ang mga darating na kaganapan. Ang konseho ng mga magulang ay muli mangangalap ng pondo sa darating na “Show and Save Books”. Itong mga aklat na ito ay merong magagandang kupon o “coupons”, para sa mga maraming magtitinda sa komunidad. Ang inyong mga anak ay magkakaroon ng “order form” at pwedeng ilista kung ano ang kanilang nais. Hinihikayat namin ang mga mag-aaral na makakuha ng “order” sa kanilang mga kaibigan at mga kamag-anak dahil hindi naming kayo hinihi-kayat na kumatok sa ibat-ibang bahay sa komunidad.

“ Ang tungkulin ng Pag-aaral ay upang ipahayag ang isang masusing pag-iisip, Talino at Karakter- yan ang layunin ng isang tunay na Edukasyon.” Martin Luther King, Jr. 1929-1968
