THE WEEK JUNIOR SCHOOL LATEST NEWS BULLETINS LEARNING ENGLISH AS AN ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE Tip of the Week Students new to English can be confused when they hear their teacher (or others) talking about themselves in the third person. It really helps English as an Additional Language students to hear people refer to themselves as I and not by their name, such as Mr. Smith or Ms Jones. 영어배우기금주의팁영어를처음배우는학생들은선생님 ( 혹은타인 ) 이스스로를 제 3 자로호칭할때혼란스러워할수있습니다. 자신을 Mr. Smith 나 Ms. Jones 가아닌 나 로표현해주는것이학생 들에게큰도움이됩니다. PATIENCE AT STUDENT DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP When you stop to drop-off or pick-up your children beside the small path near the Upper Junior pod please drive directly away as soon as your child or children are safely out of or into the car. We have noticed a few parents being a little impatient and overtaking cars that are stopping to drop-off or pick-up, this leads to traffic congestion and is potentially dangerous. Please be patient and help traffic to flow smoothly and safely. 학생등교와픽업시유의사항 Upper Junior Pod 옆정낭앞에서자녀를내려주시거나태우실때는자녀가안전하게차에서내리거나탄것을확인하는즉시출발해주시기바랍니다. 간혹기다리시지못하고자녀를내려주거나픽업하기위해정차해있는차를추월하시는경우가있습니다. 이로인해혼잡이야기되고사고의위험도있습니다. 조금기다려주실것과원활하고안전한등하굣길을위해협조를당부드립니다.

STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO SEE THE NURSE DURING LUNCH OR AFTER FLEX. Over the last four weeks, there have been hundreds of visits to the school nurse during school time 8:30am-5:30pm.
