Middle School Student Conferences: On Friday from 12:00-3:00 PM our middle school students look forward to demonstrating their learning to their parents. Our campus will be filled with performances and demonstrations. If your child is in middle school, please make sure to be present for their celebration of learning.

Monday 28th May - Wednesday 30th May from 7:30 am to 3:30 pm Peekaboo Books will be set up in classroom F104 in F Building. This is a great opportunity for students to select books to read during the summer vacation. The choice includes books for Kindergarten right up to Middle School. Dollars and Kyat are accepted as payment but change will be given in Kyat.
