We are looking forward to welcoming your families back to campus next week!

Please be aware that the school regularly receives feedback from our neighbors in the apartment building opposite campus regarding traffic congestion during peak times. In particular, we have been told that heavy traffic makes it difficult for them to access their apartment building’s parking lot.

Traffic tends to build up in the morning and afternoon, especially when we have special events or on rainy days, when more parents drive their children to and from school. The flow of cars is also disrupted by vehicles waiting to make right turns across oncoming traffic, either into or out of the school.

We would therefore like to ask for your cooperation in following the traffic flow shown below wherever possible, and particularly on days when traffic is heavier, such as during special events or on rainy days. Your kind support will be greatly appreciated and will allow us to maintain good relations with our neighbors and ensure smooth traffic for everyone.

Thank you for your consideration and understanding in this matter.

コミュニティの皆様

来週、皆さまを再びキャンパスにお迎えできることを、心より楽しみにしております。

学校では、交通量の多い時間帯における周辺道路の混雑について、キャンパス向かいのマンションにお住まいの近隣の皆さまから、日頃よりご意見をいただいております。特に、交通量が多い際には、マンションの駐車場への出入りが困難になるとのお声をいただいております。

朝夕の登下校時間帯は交通が混雑しやすく、特に学校行事のある日や雨天時には、お子さまの送迎のためにお車を利用されるご家庭が増えることから、より一層混雑する傾向があります。また、対向車線を横切って学校へ右折で進入する車両や、学校から右折で退出するために待機する車両によって、交通の流れが滞ることもございます。

つきましては、可能な限り、下記に示す交通の流れに沿って通行していただきますよう、皆さまのご理解とご協力をお願いいたします。特に、学校行事のある日や雨天時など、交通量が多くなることが予想される日には、より一層のご協力をいただけますと幸いです。

皆さまのご協力は、近隣の方々との良好な関係を維持するとともに、周辺道路を利用されるすべての方にとって円滑な交通環境を確保することにつながります。

Student Health Information

Thank you to our returning families for completing the new Student Health Form on PowerSchool. Once completed, your child's information will be retained in the system. Next year, your family will only need to revise the information based on changes in your family's health needs. Having the updated health information in PowerSchool ensures our staff can provide the best possible support for your child and reduce paperwork for school trips.

For New Families:

We appreciate your patience in resubmitting some health information on the form, noting that you may have already provided some of this information during enrollment. Thank you for your cooperation.

School Medication Policy Reminder:

As outlined in the Student Handbook, students are not permitted to carry medication on campus. All medications must be stored and administered by the Health Office. If your child requires medication during school hours, please drop off the medication along with the completed authorization form directly at the Health Office.

Updated Heat Safety Measures

Dear Parents,

To ensure student safety, Canadian Academy is implementing an updated 'heat safety protocol' aligned with the Ministry of Education (MEXT) and Japan Sports Association (JSPO) safety standards. 

We now perform on-site Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) measurements to manage outdoor activities. WGBT is a measure of how hot it feels that combines readings for temperature, humidity, sunlight, and wind. When the local WBGT reading reaches 31°C, outdoor PE, recess, or after-school activities will be moved indoors and/or cancelled. In temperatures between 28°C and 30.9°C, outdoor time is capped at 20 minutes with mandatory shade and hydration breaks, as well as gear adjustments according to the activity.

As part of this initiative to keep students safe, we are also strictly enforcing a "No Hat, No Play" policy. Students must bring a hat and a labeled water bottle daily. Please encourage your child to tell a teacher or the nurse immediately, if they feel dizzy, have a headache or cramps, or feel sick.

Thank you for partnering with us to prevent heat-related illness.

Thank you for choosing the school cafeteria! The cafeteria operates on a 'Cashless Cafeteria' where your children have a pre-paid debit card account that pays for their school lunch. All accounts are given a personal identification number which can be easily retrieved if forgotten.

Event Details: Thursday, September 3rd / 6:00 PM - 8:10 PM
