EMASI Van Phuc Vietnam February 2022 Overview

With the Covid Pandemic, February was a month that challenged our community but we remain steadfast and determined, guided by the EMASI Mission: To provide an outstanding education delivered in Vietnamese and English that emphasizes Vietnamese values, academic and personal excellence and fosters global understanding, respect and independent learning.


Take a moment to watch five highlights from the month here in our monthly Video High Five.

Health and Safety Reminders

Health and safety remains a top priority of our school and community. Families are reminded to complete the weekly health declaration. Do not send children to school if they have Covid symptoms or live with an F0.


We all have a part to play in the safety of our community.


Families will also be hearing from our school about new steps moving forward with regards to parent cards, access to the campus, and end of day protocols.


Family Communication

I am always ready to hear from you. Really. I will always make time to meet with any individual family to hear whatever they want to share.


“Office Hours with the Managing Director” are available every Friday from 8-9:30 am.


This year, families regularly receive important updates on their children’s learning. This includes weekly updates sent on Seesaw for elementary and Edmodo for secondary. Families are encouraged to contact their child’s homeroom teacher if they desire support with these platforms.
