Futsal Tournament

New Website Released

Students in grades 3-5 will be

playing soccer in the Falcon
Cup on Rokko Island next
Friday October 14. The 34
students are quite excited and
will be learning the
fundamentals of soccer,
teamwork and how to handle
winning and losing.

Parent Advisory
Council
We are looking for parents to
serve on a committee focusing
on improving student learning
and promoting OIS. The group
will meet 3 times per year and
will reflect the diverse
demographics of our
community, from grade levels
to nationalities. No expertise
necessary, just enthusiasm and
willingness to help our school.
Please contact Bill if you are
interested.

This week we released the schools new website! All of the information
and photos are updated. There are separate English and Japanese
language websites. It took many hours of eort behind the scenes to
get it up and running and we would like to thank everyone involved,
especially the IT department and our website design master, Stephen
Frater. We hope the updated website will attract prospective families
and teachers to choose to come to SOIS. We have an excellent school
and wonderful community and want to show that off to the world.
With a project this large, we are continually improving the website and
will continue to develop it during this school year.
