Logos Expected School-wide Learning Results (ESLRs)
ESLR #2
An Academically Sound Student, who is:
2.1. Equipped to achieve his/her God-given potential
2.2. A rational and critical thinker, who applies understanding and knowledge to new problems
2.3. Developing skills to be a life-long learner
2.4. An effective communicator in speech and writing
2.5. Technologically literate and able to apply technology productively and ethically
Of course as a school we are always encouraging students academically while being aware that the ‘whole child’ is being developed as well. As teachers we apply boundaries for the students at school in terms of technology. Technology can enhance education and make our lives easier so we try to model applying it productively and ethically. As parents at home you can do the same.
We recently received this Parents Guide to Smartphones from AXIS a Christian organization, ‘connecting parents, teens and Jesus’. Logos is a partner member. You may find the guide helpful. Let us know if we can support you in any way in this area.

MENU FOR OCTOBER
A NOTE FROM SCHOOL NURSE
Cambodia is going through a season with increased temperature and
rainfall. The warm and wet weather provides an optimal environment for mosquito breeding.
Thus, we must remain cautious regarding mosquito-borne illnesses, such as dengue fever.
Dengue fever is transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito (Aedes aegypti or locally
known as “tiger” mosquito). This species is recognizable through stripes on its abdomen and
legs. They bite throughout the day but peak between 6-8 am and 4-6 pm.
Prevention strategies:
• Eliminate stagnant water at home, such as pots, plants, and water containers/basins
• Wear mosquito repellent
• Have screens on doors and windows
• Wear long, loose clothing
The most common symptom is a high fever (40°C/ 104°F), accompanied by two of the
following:
• severe headache
• pain behind the eyes
• muscle and joint pains
• rash, fatigue
• nausea/vomiting.
If someone is suspected of having contracted dengue fever, it is important to stay hydrated and
promptly seek medical care.
