Semester One reports go live today. We appreciate the dedication individuals gave to ensure student report cards contained feedback that was in the present-tense sensitive yet accurate, relevant and specific to the area of focus and individual to the child. We are grateful for your efforts that demonstrate to parents the value we place on meaningful feedback that supports the growth mindset.
Semester 1 Report Feedback goes live today. It is also time for our students to reflect on their progress this year. If you have not yet provided the time and guidance for your students to review the goals they set in October 2016, reflect on their progress to date, and set next steps for review in March (before Student-Led Conferences on the 30th of March), please do so this week.
Please be aware that this Thursday, February 2, 2017, President Putin is visiting Hungary. As a result, specific districts will be closed and traffic rerouted for security. Please consider that you may experience delays in your commute from the city and plan accordingly.

Many teachers have mentioned that they'd like to watch Hubi and Oli swim when there is a competition in Budapest.
February 25th is the first round of the Budapest Cup in the Tuske Csarnok. It would be a good one to attend as there are not too many people competing, and there are only a few races set. If you want to watch the boys compete but cannot make this one, there will be another opportunity on March 18.
