Coming Together, Keeping Together, Working Together


"when schools, families and community groups work together to support learning, children tend to do better in school, stay in school longer and like school more."


The preschoolers had the opportunity to listen to our speakers as they shared their responsibilities at school. 

They understood how the school community is working together to make the school run smoothly. 


Ms. J  shared some of the roles and responsibilities of teachers.
  • to teach or facilitate learning
  • act as the second parent of students when they are in school
  • ensure children's safety 
  • support student's social, emotional skills development

Mr. Inman  shared the some of the important roles and responsibilities of the principal.
  • make sure that the school has good teachers
  • ensure the safety of students, teachers and staff 
  • ensure that the school program is of high quality and is delivered at the highest standards
  • accept new students 
  • talk to parents about their children


  Mrs. Wysk shared some of the important roles and responsibilities of parents.
  • support teachers in different activities or events
  • join field trips to ensure that children are safe
  • help students learn at home by helping homework
  • learn with the children too
  • talk to teachers 
 

In addition Mrs. Hakozaki also shared her responsibilities as a parent volunteer in the library .
  • help teachers and students look for books
  • organize books in the shelf
  • label, enter titles in the library system, and shelf books
  • put the books inside the shelves from the 'retuned' box
Sorting Out all the information they gathered from the interview of the different members of the school community, they learned that all the members are interconnected. 

The school will not be able to function without any of the members- they are interdependent and very important that they work together as a team! 


To sum up our wonderful trips to Rokko Island Fire Station and Hyogo Police Station, please enjoy the short video for you all!



Thank you to all the wonderful parents who joined us in our trips and came to school to give their time for the preschoolers! 

We truly appreciate you all!

Night of the Student Led Conference

Preschoolers practice for their upcoming Student Led Conference (SLC) by engaging in mock sessions with peers and teachers. These practices help the students build confidence as they learn to talk about their artwork, classroom routines, and personal growth.  Using the checklist prompted by visuals like portfolios and photo displays, preschoolers explain their learning journey in simple, meaningful ways. Practicing ahead of the actual conference allows them to feel prepared and proud to share with their families.  It fosters communication skills, independence, and a strong sense of ownership over their learning — all foundational for future academic and social success. During the actual Student Led Conference, preschoolers experienced a range of emotions. Some felt nervous facing their parents, while others were visibly tired or overwhelmed by the attention.  A few needed gentle support to stay engaged. On the other hand, many confidently shared their work, explained clas...

Meet the Animals

Students have been actively engaged in preparing for our upcoming Animal Exhibit, showcasing their learning through research, creativity, and collaboration. Each student selected an animal of interest, explored its habitat, diet, and unique adaptations, and created a visual display to share their findings. This week the preschoolers worked in teams to group animals according to their natural habitats—such as grassland, fresh water, polar region, ocean, and forest.  Together, they collaborated to research the features and designed a small-scale habitat that reflect the unique features of each ecosystem. This group project fostered teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity as students and teachers combined their knowledge and ideas to create cohesive, informative, and visually engaging designs.  The final displays beautifully showcase both the diversity of animal life and the power of collaboration. As part of the preparation, preschoolers will practice presentation skills and t...
