TIPS Journal November 1, 2021
on the school year so far
Greetings from Tokyo International Progressive School
Hello, and I hope you and your families are well.
If you are interested in visiting the Expat Expo on November 5 or 6, please register as a free guest here:
Depending on when you visit our booth, you may find Junko Nakamura, Brock Spore or myself promoting our school.
We will be photographed by Kerry Raftis of KeyShots again this year. Our photo day will be Friday, November 19. You may read more about suggestions on how to look our best below. Grade 12 students will be photographed in street clothes, cap and gown and a tuxedo or drape.
We are cautiously optimistic that our International Day of December 17 will return to its normal, pre-pandemic form. If so, we will invite parents to join the feast that you provide. Students will be asked to bring a dish to share that represents their own country for lunch.
Thanks for reading. Any questions, please ask!
Sincerely,
Lyn Sato
TIPS Principal
PSA REPORT
Our next PSA meeting will be Wednesday, November 3. You have the option of attending in person or online. Mr. Jason Wan will represent the staff that day, and he will be presenting my report.
We hope you will attend a PSA mixer in the school Common Room on the evening of Friday, November 26. If you don't mind bringing something to share to eat or drink, we appreciate that. The teachers will be in attendance 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. The aim is to get to know each other better in a relaxed setting.
