Primary Division Updates
Dear Primary Division Families,
It has been such a joy to have all students back on campus, bringing their excitement for learning and friendship. The start of the semester is marked by the ISA—International School Assessment. This external assessment serves as a measure for our school as to the quality and success of our programs.
Just as a year-long trip around the world can not be summed up in one picture, a student’s full learning journey can not be described in one test. Although the ISA is a helpful measure, it is just one way our teachers assess students’ learning. Countless other tools, observations and assessment are used through the learning and assessment journey. If you ever have any questions about your child’s achievement, please reach out to their teachers.
Warmly,
Primary Division Leadership Team

Avenues Community Connections | How to help kids recognize and manage stress?
Time: 8:30–10:00 a.m., February 25
Venue: 3F, A12
Join us for an upcoming ACC session on "Recognizing and Managing Stress," open to the full community and designed specifically for parents of middle and high school students. We will draw insights from The Anxious Generation, among other sources, to explore the importance of understanding stress in our children’s lives for both positive and negative repercussions. We’ll discuss the difference between positive and negative stress, and how various factors—like social media, academic pressure, and home life—contribute to their anxiety.
Through interactive activities, such as emotional reaction exercises and peer pressure role-plays, you’ll gain firsthand experience of the challenges your children face. We’ll also share effective coping strategies for both students and parents, focusing on time management, healthy lifestyle choices, and creating a supportive home environment.
