#14 - NOVEMBER 15, 2024
Dear PS Families,
Another week of wonderful learning has passed! Today’s early release provided our staff with a valuable opportunity to review student data and plan for differentiated instruction to better support each child’s needs.
Just a friendly reminder to please send the Thanksgiving product donations for the workers' baskets with your child.
Thank you for your continued partnership,
Paula
Gate Passes-Reminders
If you need a gate pass for your child, please send an e-mail to: ps_attendance@cng.edu and remember to include:
· Child’s full name
· Teacher’s name
· Time of exit
· Include the name of the student/person who the student is leaving with
Remember that requests are accepted until 11:00 am on the day that your child needs it (please do not send them in advance). Gate passes should always be through the Primary School office, not through transportation. Thank you!
A Message from CNG´s Health Zone
We would like to remind you of our policy regarding student health, specifically in relation to medical leaves (Incapacidades médicas).
In accordance with Colombian law and the protocols established at CNG, any student with a medical leave (Incapacidad médicas) must remain at home to ensure their well-being and to protect the health of our school community.
If a child arrives at school while experiencing medical leave (incapacidad medica), they will be sent home promptly, and our nursing staff will assist with this process.
We appreciate your cooperation in adhering to these guidelines. Should you have any questions or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to reach out. (health_zone@cng.edu)
Thank you for your understanding.
Grandparents/Grandfriends Day
We are very excited to announce the return of Grandparent/Grandfriends day! This cool event will be held on Thursday, December 5th at 8:00 AM. It will be a fun opportunity for our guests to experience a little slice of our students' day. Don't have a grandparent in Bogota? Bring a "Grand Friend". Don't have one of those either? That's OK. We all know that Grandparents/Grandfriends love kids and we'll have plenty of those joining us to be with your student. We will be sure to share photos after!
Thanksgiving Baskets for CNG Workers
As you may know, NHS collects products that students bring to the School for the baskets we will give CNG workers as appreciation tokens during Thanksgiving. This year, they will collect the products from 7:15 am to 8:00 am to avoid class interruptions for Primary students and NHS members. The idea is that primary students leave their products in the boxes that will be placed outside their classrooms so that NHS members can pick them up without interruptions. The collection already started and will end on November 22nd. Thank you!
