Global Leaders
This week our students had the opportunity to explore what it means to be curious. We discussed how Global Leaders show their curiosity within their studies, community and the world. Our student UN introduced this topic during our Monday Morning Announcements and a read aloud. I have included the read aloud below. I encourage all families to take a few minutes listen to our read aloud and discuss what it means to be curious and how that can help them as a learner and a leader.
Esta semana nuestros estudiantes tuvieron la oportunidad de explorar lo que significa ser curioso. Discutimos cĂłmo los lĂderes globales muestran su curiosidad dentro de sus estudios, su comunidad y el mundo. Nuestro estudiante UN presentĂł este tema durante nuestros anuncios del lunes por la mañana y una lectura en voz alta. He incluido la lectura en voz alta a continuaciĂłn. Animo a todas las familias a que se tomen unos minutos para escuchar nuestra lectura en voz alta y discutir lo que significa ser curioso y cĂłmo eso puede ayudarlos como aprendices y lĂderes.
Emergency Drills
School safety drills, including fire, lockdown, and earthquake drills, are meticulously designed to ready students and educators to face an emergency with confidence. Particularly, these drills reinforce safety protocols, nurture readiness, and reduce panic during critical incidents.
On Monday, September 16th Emory Academy will participate in our first lockdown drill for the 2024-2025 school year. Prior to the drill, all staff will review the expectations for the drill. I recommend taking some time this weekend to talk with your student about the importance of all emergency drills.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Los simulacros de seguridad escolar, incluidos simulacros de incendio, encierro y terremoto, están meticulosamente diseñados para preparar a los estudiantes y educadores para enfrentar una emergencia con confianza. En particular, estos simulacros refuerzan los protocolos de seguridad, fomentan la preparaciĂłn y reducen el pánico durante incidentes crĂticos.
El lunes 16 de septiembre, Emory Academy participará en nuestro primer simulacro de encierro para el año escolar 2024-2025. Antes del simulacro, todo el personal revisará las expectativas del simulacro. Recomiendo tomarse un tiempo este fin de semana para hablar con su estudiante sobre la importancia de todos los simulacros de emergencia.
Gracias por su comprensiĂłn y apoyo.
