#21 - JANUARY 24, 2025
Dear PS Families,
This week, our students had a fantastic time getting back into their routines, all while enjoying the fun of Spirit Week! As a reminder, Friday is the end of Semester 1. Report cards will be available to parents on February 7. Please note, there will be no parent-teacher conferences this time. We’re proud of all the hard work our students have put in, and we look forward to another great semester ahead!
Have a great week!
Paula
CWW-Group A Update
The new date for G2-Group A CWW has been rescheduled to February 12, due to No Car Day (Dia de no carro). We wanted to make sure you’re informed of this change, and we appreciate your understanding.
Smartwatches / Cell Phone Use - UNCOLI Statement
If you were a part of our community last year, you may remember an announcement about a new cell phone policy at CNG. The policy was developed in conjunction with other UNCOLI schools in Colombia with the goal of promoting student health and wellness. An article about this initiative was recently published in the media, so we would like to take this opportunity to share the policy with you once again. If you have specific questions, please feel free to reach out to the office, your student's teacher, or the counseling team.
