As it was officially published this week on the BORME, shareholders of Colegio Hispano-norteamericano S.A. are invited to attend the Ordinary General Meeting which is convened for first call on February 16, 2016 (19:00) and, if applicable due to quorum requirements, on February 17, 2016 at the same time. The meeting will take place at the registered office of Puzol (Valencia), Avenida Sierra Calderona, 29.

The ASV students taking part of the exchange with the Community School of Naples, in Florida, are showing an outstanding behavior during all phases of the trip and the CSN host families are being very nice and taking great care of them. Read on the school website some notes about the activities the expedition enjoyed during the first week there.

For students in grades 3-6, informational letters regarding Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) scores will be sent home no later than 21 January, 2016. The letters will be generated by your child’s classroom teacher and indicate performance levels on the assessment from this past fall. Students will take the MAP test again in the spring. The second assessment will allow students, teachers, and parents to assess progress in mathematics and reading over the course of the year.

Please assist in our efforts to promote the safety of our students by adopting safe parking and driving practices during arrival and dismissal periods. Specifically, it is important that vehicles are not parked on the sidewalks around the school. This ensures families have a safe path to walk along during this busy time of the day. As always, it is advisable to drive cautiously when near the school. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your contributions to ensuring the safety of our students.

Grades 1 through 6 attended a theater play at the school theater based on El Quijote. The play was really fun and encouraged the participation of the students performing short roles on the stage.

 

A group of students in grade 12 traveled to Brussels (Belgium) to visit one of the two sites of the European Parliament with Dr. Kristy Beam and Ms. Fe Valero leading the expedition. The tour included a guided visit to the main building and to the Parlamentarium, a nearby venuw used as Visitors' Center. This was an optional activity offered to students in grade 12 interested in the integration of European nations and their common institutions. The trip was incardinated in the European Parliament’s Open House practices, which provide free entrance and guidance to individuals, groups and schools.

The ASV Counseling Service is closing the final details of the activity Career Day, a series of workshops on diverse university degrees and professional careers, addressed to our students in grades 9 through 12. A special fact is that each workshop is driven by a professional with a valuable experience on this area, sometimes member of the ASV community. Save the date, Friday, January 29, 2016, and find more details on this post.

 

The ASV bags arrived!  Mr. Gilbert Mwale is now back to work at Kapita School and  has sent us a picture of the students and the bags. Thanks to all the donations, and during the month of December we were able to purchase 290 bags. Each Kapita School student received a bag with a personal note inside from the donor. The new school will be inaugurated in March or April and because of our donations and the Livingstone Foundation, the new school will have running water which is a big problem that needed to be solved. Again thank you for your collaboration in this project.
