We also wanted to inform you that, we lost one of our private security personnel last week in an unfortunate accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.

In other news, our new building construction is on track and we are eagerly looking forward to the grand opening. We are confident that the new facilities will provide a modern and inspiring learning environment for our students.

With the start of this month, we will also be starting the re-enrollment period for next year. Please be reminded that we have limited spots and we encourage you to enroll your student as soon as possible to secure their place for next year. Detailed information regarding the re-enrollment process will be sent to all parents shortly.

Lastly, we are excited to announce that we have started to offer etiquette classes for the entire school. We believe that these classes will support our students in becoming kind and responsible future leaders and citizens.
