PSO Weekly Updates - Sept. 23

PSO Weekly Updates - Sept. 23

1. On September 16, 2022, we prepared a nice treat for our G12 senior students! Go Seniors!

2. Grade 8 parents met for coffee on Monday September 19, 2022, enjoying the sunshine alfresco before the weather gets cold. We talked about major events which involved parents for the year including metro madness, Graduation party etc. Experienced parents shared more information on metro madness and Christmas bazaar. It was a good atmosphere to get to know each other and to talk about kids growing up and life in general. We look forward to many G8 parents volunteering to accompany our children through their last year in Middle School. 

3. It has been a busy week for Grade 9 parents. On Tuesday September 20, 2022, they had a special Zoom presentation from the school as they transitioned to High School. Teachers giving class expectations and guidelines and pointing the importance of Self Advocacy in their High School years. The counselors also briefly touched on the plan for 9th Grade Counseling curriculum. 

Parents are also notified that they should register for CIALFO for information about college application process and there is a planned date for parents training scheduled in early October. There will also be a new counselor, Ms. Lucia Hu who will be joining the team after the October holiday.

High school parents also got the chance to meet up during the Community Meeting on Wednesday September 21, 2022 to get to know new parents and were offered more insights about the school CCAs and upcoming school PSO events.

Exciting upcoming events for next week for the HS division will be the Popcorn treats day which will fall on September 29th, which happens to be the World's Heart Day!

Go Phoenix! We Love Phoenix!

4. It was a joyous and relaxing noon catching up with G11 parents on September 20, 2022. It has been a long while since we were able to meet up. It is great to sharing some parental experiences, gossiping about some matters in school. More interestingly, we realized we got more information from other fellow parents than from our own kids! We also got to know a very popular “Tuan Zhang” amongst us who did a lot for the Biyun Community during the lockdown ...way to go moms!!

5. We had our 1st PSO Community Meeting on September 21, 2022 in Marriot Hotel. School leadership team was invited and shared their philosophy of education to our students. Parents had a lot of fun to get to know school leadership more through fun quiz! Also, Marketing, CCA and Sports departments were also invited to share their visions and plans for this year. Parents from different divisions had breakout sessions to get connected and had a relax lunch buffet afterwards. What a wonderful event!

6. Korean community held a briefing session after the PSO Community Meeting. Korean ambassador introduced Korean MIP and other annual events that will be held on and off the campus. It is very nice to see Concordia brings our community even stronger!

7. Home room parents from Elementary School, please join us ES Room Parent Meeting at Yi Jian Library from 10:00-12:00 on September 29, 2022. Let’s have a fun plan for our kids this year!
