Newsletter and Events in Dec-2021 / Noticias y Eventos en Diciembre-2021

Dear Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ Community,

We thank you for your support to the 12th grade class with donations for our Thanksgiving Luncheon. Our gratitude goes also to Ms. Dylana and other staff members who dedicated their time and effort to making this event happen.

We congratulate the 5th grade and 9th grade Honors Science students (and educators) for their participation in the Climate Action Project 2021. They collaborated with delegates from 144 other countries and proudly represented Costa Rica. As you know, Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ is in the process of accreditation as a UNESCO School, and these actions are part of our work in order to meet the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

6th Grade Santagrams will be available for sale starting November 30th. This is a nice way to send a Christmas greeting to your friends!

We made a small adjustment to the school uniform: the polo shirt can be combined with denim pants (jeans), as long as they comply with the color and allowed regulations. Thus, the official uniforms are:
1) Polo shirt with khaki or navy-blue pants / shorts / skirt
2) Physical Education T-shirt with black or navy-blue pants / shorts

Dress regulations are found in the Student Handbook, if you have any questions please contact your Principal.
