Good morning!

It is the start of a new month, which means we are ready to announce the new IB Learner Profile attribute that SJA will be focusing on.  As a reminder, the Learner Profile is an essential aspect of the IB program because it introduces 'a set of ideals that can inspire, motivate and focus the work of schools and teachers, uniting them in a common purpose.' (www.ibo.org).

For the month of December we are going to be looking for students who are 'Knowledgeable'.  Being a Knowledgeable student within the IB program means that students will 'explore concepts, ideas and issues that have local and global significance.  In so doing, they acquire in-depth knowledge and develop understanding across a broad and balanced range of disciplines.' (www.ibo.org) 

Teachers are going to be on the look out for students who at showing these important qualities in their classrooms and in real world situations.  Don't forget, that we are also looking for nominations for the IB Action Star of the month for the school's newsletter.  If you witness your child showing an action that demonstrates them being Knowledgeable send me an email to let me know at cnelson@stjudesacademy.com. 

Have a great week!

Mrs. Nelson
