If your child does not belong to the regular transportation service, some limited spaces will be available at each entrance route for the students; to register, you must send an e-mail request to transportation@cng.edu with the student's full name, grade, address, parent's cell phone and the authorization to get off from the bus alone or accompanied; the deadline for receiving route requests will be Tuesday, September 19th at 12:00 noon.

The allocation of spots will be managed in the strict order of arrival of the e-mails to the extent that the availability of each of the routes allows it (limited quotas).

BUS PASS INFORMATION-NO CAR DAY
 
Dear families:
As you know on Thursday, September 21st, Bogota will have No car-day, for this reason the authorizations of bus passes and changes of routes will not be permitted, due to capacity and availability of spots on each route for this day.
We appreciate your attention and understanding.

Sick Students

We understand that you want the best for your children's education, and we share that commitment. However, it is crucial that we all play a role in maintaining a safe learning environment, especially when it comes to the health of our students. By keeping sick students at home, you not only protect their health but also prevent the potential spread of illnesses to other students and school staff. We are committed to providing a safe and healthy learning environment for everyone, and your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated. Please take a look at CNG´s guidelines for keeping sick children home from school:

Siblings of Students in After-School Activities Pickup Time

Students are not allowed to wait in the PS office if a sibling stays for after school activities. Please make sure they are picked up at the main gate at 2:15. Thank you for your cooperation.

We would like to kick off the Proyecto Vida program this year with a PS and ES parent session in the Cafetorium on Monday, September 18 from 7:15-8:15. We will be sharing detailed information about this valuable, parent-led character education program. Classroom Parent Reps are asked to remain for an additional 30 minutes, until 8:45, to receive a more in-depth training. We hope you can all join us!

Proyecto Vida/Parenting for Life is an interactive program that involves parents/guardians in Character for Life, CNG´s cross disciplinary and comprehensive approach, to purposefully shape our students’ character in alignment with our Core Values. The lessons are carried out thanks to the participation of parent volunteers from each classroom through small skits and activities. Let's continue strengthening the home-school partnership!

Parent University

Thank you to all the PS parents who joined our international Literacy consultant, Vincent Ventura, last Thursday for a Literacy Workshop dedicated to providing parents with tools to support their children as readers and writers. HERE is the link to the presentation.

Toys at school

We would like to remind you that children are not allowed to bring toys to school unless there is a special activity. If they bring them, they need to stay inside their backpack at all times. 

Schedule

1st Grade Picnic

Please note that the 1st-grade picnic has been rescheduled to Thursday, October 5th.

 

Uniforms 

In Primary School, children are required to wear the CNG uniform. Please keep in mind leggings are permitted if wearing a skirt. Additionally, for P.E. class, we kindly ask that students come prepared with the appropriate P.E. uniform, suitable exercise shoes (tennis shoes), and a hair tie. Your cooperation in reinforcing this dress code from home is greatly appreciated.
