School Calendar Change

You may have heard that the number of public holidays for 2020 in Cambodia has been reduced. We will make just one change to our school’s calendar for this year. 20th May will change so that we are in school that day – no holiday. The last week of school in May will look like this:

• 25, 26, 27 May will be normal school days.
• 28 May will be the last day of school for students – half day and no lunch.
• 29 May will be the last day for teachers.

PSAT Testing, Wednesday, Oct. 16

We will offer PSAT testing to Grade 10 & 11 students on Wednesday, October 16, 2019. We require our Grade 10 students to take the test, and we do not charge them for it. The PSAT is optional for Grade 11 students, and we charge Grade 11 students $16 to cover the cost of the test.

Why should students take the PSAT?

• To help prepare for the SAT. Students can become familiar with the kinds of questions and the exact directions they will see on the SAT.
• PSAT results can give you a general idea of how well students will do on the SAT and offers feedback about students’ strengths and weaknesses on skills necessary for college study. Students can then focus their preparation on those areas that could most benefit from additional study or practice.
• United States Citizens in Grade 11 who perform well on the test may be eligible for National Merit Scholarships to college.

We have already ordered and received our PSAT tests, but we have a couple of extra copies.  If you have a Grade 11 student that has not signed up but would like to take the test, please contact Mrs. Young. jyoung@asianhope.org 

MAP Testing

MAP testing for both Elementary and Secondary has been completed for the fall term. Thank you all for the excellent attendance of your students, and congratulations to them for their hard work!  

The MAP tests are used as a diagnostic tool for the school, and so they are not part of the students’ grades at all.  Individual results are not sent out at this time, however, Logos will distribute a report for every student along with their first quarter report cards.  

Note from School Nurse

As you are all aware, we have an acute upper respiratory illness sweeping through the country like wildfire. I have been reassured by local Medical Doctors that the multiple complaints of  sneezing, stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, coughing, water eyes, mild headache and mild body are the result of a cold virus.

Children and adults usually recover from a cold within two weeks. You should always keep your healthcare provider informed if the illness gets worse or lasts longer than expected. The best way to combat the common cold is to get plenty of rest and drink plenty of fluids.The best way to prevent the infection is to practice good hygiene by washing your hands frequently and avoiding touching your nose, eyes and mouth. These are practices we diligently have our students and staff follow. Thank you for supporting our efforts at home with these practices and keeping your child home if they have fever above 38C or are not feeling well.
