Dear Parent
The ESF Board met this evening to approve our budget for the coming academic year.

Dear Parents,
What a wonderful start to the week as we welcome our students back into school. It's been wonderful to see our K2s return with confidence and to see them reconnect with familiar play spaces and peers.
Meeting our new students and families is such an exciting time for us. Thank you for accompanying your child this week and playing alongside them as they discover and explore their new environment.
Parent Partnerships
Thank you for joining our teachers for your one-to-one family sessions. The information they gained will be invaluable for them to know their student's strengths and next steps as they settle into their routines at school.
We will begin our class newsletters shortly, and these will share the experiences that your child is engaging in within their class, including information about their learning within the unit of inquiry, songs, and stories. Please keep an eye out for an email from your class teacher.
We encourage you to upload images onto your child's VLE portfolio, which will be immediately visible to the class team, sharing key learning experiences or weekend activities that you are engaged in. Teachers can then reflect on these with their children in class. This is particularly helpful for building connections and a sense of belonging for our students and teachers.
Pick up cards
For K2 Students, we are using our existing pick-up cards.
Our new families will be issued a pick-up card (via the VLE on your APP) by Friday.
Please ensure you display this clearly on your phone each day. For safeguarding reasons, no adults are able to pick up a child without identifying them through the pick-up card.
PYP Curriculum Parent Webinar - Monday 4th September at 12:00
Save the date! Our Primary Year Programme Coordinator, Fiona Hall will be hosting a parent webinar about the IB PYP curriculum framework to provide families with an overview of TCK’s units of inquiry that are planned across the year. A separate APP message will be sent with a registration link.
ESF EXPLORE
We’ve rebranded! ESF Sports and Language is now ESF Explore.
Our rebranding is not just about changing the name! We have come to understand our constraints, thus, we listened and improved. Catering from infants to teens, we offer playgroups, sports, language classes, arts, drama, STEM learning, and more.
Check out The ESF Explore schedule here, and the term 1 programmes here.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Kind regards
TCK Team
