The donations of the disinfectant were delivered to FUNDACION ABRIGO last week in the name of our student body.

DPTO NEWS- The DPTO wishes to remind the parents who have not yet done so, to please pay the L.200.00 fee to support the DPTO. This contribution fee was agreed upon on the last Assembly, and is a vital contribution in order to keep on planning fun events for all of our school community to enjoy!  You can leave the payment with Ms. Carolina at the reception.

We also want to let you know that our DPTO blog has been updated, so please check it out!

PASSING GRADE ACCORDING TO THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION - We would like to remind parents that the passing grade, according to new regulations, is 70% for the Ministry of Education. Your child needs to score at least 70% in order to avoid coming to recuperation exam/s. We encourage you to check blogs and Engrade on a weekly basis, and to keep close communications with teachers.
