We covered about the learning style and the parental role in supporting the students, as well as the different curriculum offered by the Elementary school track and the Keisho Nihongo course track. Although the turnout rate seemed to be a bit low, we still had very attentive audiences.<\/p>\n<h2>Introducing the New Slogans (With Parents\u2019 Association)<\/h2>\n<p>To help our school life to be more fun and enjoyable, we asked students above 3rd grade to submit their slogans and we have picked out three of them to focus on them as a school community. This will happen over three parts with the help from students, parents, and teachers. We will be covering these slogans in the morning meeting and at the end of the day. Your help at home will be greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u25c6Best Slogans<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">\u30fb12\/3-12\/17<\/span><br \/>\n\u201cJLSP is a small Japan!
