Good morning HIS Community,

As we enter the final week before Spring Break (and, we hope, the last week under quasi-emergency regulations), we are re-opening after-school athletic practices (with strong safety protocols in place).  We will still be limiting field trips and other after-school clubs.  We plan to return to our normal precautions beginning on March 28 (masks, temp checks, etc., but open for field trips and other activities).  

Also, just a note that if you haven't seen it already, our new 2022-2027 Strategic Plan has been approved by the HIS Executive Board and is available for review here: https://www.his.ac.jp/about/strategic-plan-2022-2027

We are grateful to the many community members who have participated, over the years, in sharing valuable feedback that helped us develop these goals and focus areas (the recent WASC family survey is just one example of this).  We welcome additional questions, feedback, support, and ideas as we continue the collective work of pursuing our school's mission and vision.  

Thank you and have a great start to the week,

Tim Schlosser
Head of School
