Hello Parents and Caregivers,
This is just a quick note to let you know of some exciting changes that are happening effective immediately after break.
As of Tuesday the 23rd THERE WILL BE NO PHONES ALLOWED IN THE CLASSROOM.
This means that students will need to keep their phones in their lockers. Students are welcome to use the phones at break time (not in the lunch hall), however they are not allowed to be in the classroom. There is a number of reasons for this, mainly safety of students and staff.
We believe as an untied staff that this will create a more welcoming environment in the class, as well as remove distractions that so often plague our students.
If phones are found in class they will be confiscated and given to the principal who will then keep it for the day. Parents will be required to pick up their child's phone at the end of the day.
We want to reiterate, that as a staff we are in complete agreement about this and that this action is best for your child.
Please ensure that your child has a lock for their locker so the phone is kept safely.
We thank you in advance for your support and look forward to a phone free spring!
Kind regards
Leighton and Carina

Also we have a new fundraiser starting spearheaded by a different group of students which is great to see. Any ideas are more than welcome.
We look forward to seeing those of you who have booked in on Friday.

Daylight savings and suddenly there are more hours in the day! More time to be outside, get your vitamin d and of course study! On a not so positive note, there have been some issues lately with deadlines and due dates. Students must raise any issues with the teacher before the due date! If they plan ahead a realize they cannot meet a deadline then they need to contact the teacher and discuss this. Teachers are reasonable people, that are flexible and empathic! However the due day is not the time to discuss this. Speaking of time management, it has been a great concern that a large number of students are arriving to their lesson 2,3,4, and 5 mins late. This is not ok as this absence is a distraction to the entire class. Please check to see that your child is coming on time and not one who is consistently late. Again it does happen, however some students are doing this 4 or 5 times a week, and others even more!
Either way, it is not long to the Easter break and we can recharge for farewell semester at Pildammskolan.

Hello parents, students and caregivers.
Not long now and we are at the Easter break starting April 15th. I know I say it all the time but the year really is flying by! The students are hosting a movie afternoon for the PYP students, and they have received a tremendous response. Our total is flying up and we well reach the 11000kr mark at the end of the week. Please feel free to share any ideas you think can help raise money. At the moment it has been the same 5 students doing a lot of the work with some help from the others. It would be great if some other students could take the load off these students. We look forward to seeing you on April 12th and please come and say hi even if we don't have a meeting booked with you.
All the best,
Carina and Leighton

Hello parents, students and caregivers.
HOW GOOD IS THIS WEATHER? Bright mornings, longer evenings should result in more productivity across the board. I need to stress once again the importance of time management. Too often students are leaving tasks, studying and revision until the last minute. If you don't know it the morning of the test you won't know it! Please encourage your students to get outside while they can and enjoy the weather. Make sure they get time away from the screen and get a healthy injection of vitamin D.

Hello parents, students and caregivers.
Other than a rainy weekend it has been an incredible run with the weather. The journey to school in the morning and home again in the afternoon should be much brighter and energizing as we come out of the winter funk. On the 20th of March we will have equal day and night and we just cannot wait.
Students have had a busy week with assessments this week, and that will happen, but please ensure you encourage them to plan ahead and get organized to make this as easy as possible. Study a bit each night to get prepared for tests, plan your assignments ahead of time. Make a start early and have an open dialogue with your teacher. Talk with peers and have study times during your break or after school. There are numerous way to plan and get on top of things so that they don't pile up. Try them all and see what works for you.

Dear Parents,
Well then well then,
Before you know it we are in week 10!
The weather is changing and so are the moods of staff and students. Let's hope that with the brighter weather, comes an increased focus down the home stretch! We have are currently in the clam before the storm with March being probably the last "quiet" month before the end of the academic year. April is going to be busy with Spring Fair, (see link below), as well as Easter break, and more fundraising activities. Now is the time to get ahead and prepared!
Enjoy the longer days and warmer weather!
