Lower School Handbook
Welcome
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
I would like to welcome you to the ZIS Lower School for students in Preschool to Grade 5. Your child is now part of a family of learners, where everyone’s uniqueness is embraced and valued. In the Lower School, we all learn by creating meaning, developing habits of mind, and acting on values. Developing strong, caring relationships is important to us, and we challenge each other to share the responsibility for learning to reach our true potential. We are in close partnership with you in wanting the best for your child.
This handbook, which is an integrative part of your agreement with ZIS, contains information about our school’s guidelines and procedures, and outlines our expectations. You will find here an outline of the Lower School values, goals and organization. Curricula, including our Program of Studies, and grade level learning maps are available separately on the ZIS Community Portal.
Kind regards,
Junlah Madalinski
Lower School Principal
