Halloween subdued this year

Students and others always look forward with anticipation to the annual Halloween celebrations.

This year, however, American Prep International has chosen to scale down the normal Halloween celebrations as a sign of respect for the passing away of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej.

Halloween, or 31 October, falls within the first 30 of the passing away of our beloved King and thus comes before the end of the 30 days of mourning that has been declared through all of Thailand.

Students will be allowed to have subdued Halloween activities in their separate classrooms, but no special dresses and costumes will be worn to school and in other public places.

We know that our students and parents will understand the reason for this decision and will be in full support thereof.

First Parent-Teacher Conference for 2016/2017

American Prep International has just had its first parent-teacher conference for the present school year. It was a highly successful event with 100% of parents in the Kinder Department and 97% of parents in the grade school arriving to have discussions with teachers.

These discussions are an extremely important part of our school communication strategy. It ensures that parents are kept informed about the progress of their children and teachers have the opportunity to correlate their classroom observation of students with how parents observe their children at home.

The 5 Anchor values of American Prep International School

American Prep has identified 5 core values that are to be emphasized in all aspects of our school life. These are Communication, Collaboration, Critical thinking, Creativity and Compassion.

The effective use of Parent-teacher conferences relate especially to the values of communication and collaboration. We thank all our parents who arrived for these discussions and thus helping us to keep our core values on a firm footing. Please read 15 more suggestions about how parents can collaborate with the school.
