Cycle 1: what a great start!

Dear Eco Hub Families,

Welcome to the first edition of our newsletter for this academic year! Since beginning on September 3rd, we’ve already launched into our Building Blocks and topics, and the learners are hands-on with their explorations. We’re excited to share some highlights with you—enjoy the read!

✨Learning Highlights
In this section, you'll find highlights from our Building Blocks and programs

Onboarding week: getting to know each other and the programs

During learners’ onboarding week (September 3–10), they participated in a variety of activities to get to know each other and build group cohesion. This week also served as an introduction to the Building Blocks and an opportunity to establish routines.

We would like to highlight the incredible teamwork shown by each program during Imagine. Using natural resources from around the Hub, the learners created unique symbols for their programs: the Adventurers made a totem, the Discoverers crafted a group banner, and the Pioneers designed 3D letters spelling out “Pioneers.”

A reminder on healthy snacks

At the Hub, we encourage families and learners to bring healthy snacks and meals, such as fruit, nuts, grains, and vegetables. We strongly recommend avoiding foods high in sugar or low in nutritional value to support learners in taking care of their minds and bodies.

We also have a no-sharing food policy. Beyond allergy considerations, we explain to learners that the snacks and lunches you provide are specifically for them. We appreciate your support in reinforcing this message.

Money in the Hub

We have noticed some learners bringing money to the Hub. Please be reminded that learners should not bring money unless the Hub has communicated a specific need to parents in advance. At this time, there are no events requiring learners to bring money. Thank you for your cooperation.

Morning drop-off

Thank you for ensuring that learners arrive by 08:50, so they are ready to start Real Talk promptly at 09:00. Your support helps us minimize interruptions once the session begins and makes it easier for your learner(s) to transition smoothly into the morning. We really appreciate it!

Celebrations / Observances

We celebrate our diverse community! If you'd like to share your cultural traditions or holidays with the community, please reach out to Guille to organize a moment for this.

Parent Learning Module - Session 2

Join us on October 2nd at 6:00 pm for our very first joint Parent Learning Module. This virtual experience enables us to connect families from all three Hubs.

This interactive module is designed to give parents a closer look at how your child’s learning journey is designed, supported and documented at Learnlife. Together, we’ll explore:

• Our competency framework

• How we design and document learning in ways that go beyond traditional grades

• The tools we use to gather and track evidence of growth 

• How the Learning Vitae showcases each learner’s unique story and strengths

• How today’s learning connects to future opportunities and pathways

We want this session to be meaningful for you, so if you’d like to share questions in advance, please use this link by September 30th. Parent Learning Modules are highly recommended so we hope to see you there!
