- PE Uniforms. As we did in last year, all students are encouraged to wear their p.e. uniforms to school on p.e. days. Please send a spare p.e. or house shirt to change into after p.e. Also, tennis shoes are to be worn only on p.e. days.
- Attendance is checked at the beginning of each day. If you know that your child will not be in school please call the ELC (Verna) at (049) 511-4330 to 39/6001-0300 to 0309 extension 711 or Lower School (Abby) at extension 111 by 9:00 A.M. Absences are only considered excused if a note is sent with the child when they return and it is approved by the Principal. Please send in a note/excuse letter ahead of time for planned student absences, going out of town, etc., for consideration/approval as an excused absence. To be readmitted to school, the student must secure an admission slip from the ELC or Lower School Offices prior to going to class.
- Grades 3, 4 and 5 have started soccer and swimming clubs. Soccer practices started on August 11. Interested students, boys and girls can join the practices every Mondays and Wednesdays, 2:45 to 3:45 pm. The rest of the many clubs are scheduled for a September 1 beginning.
- Our United Nations Week which is highlighted by the Parade of Nations has been moved to October 27-30.
- Drop-off/Pick up. Our drop-off has been very good in the morning. Please remember to not have your children wait for rides after school for any length of time. Please pick them up when their day is done.
- To be ecologically-minded, we put this Friday newsletter on the Brent web page each week (www.brent.edu.ph). We will send home the newsletter on the last Friday of Oct-May, as well. Please make it a habit to check online. Thanks!
