Dear Parents,STOP PRESS, STOP READING

and get to the FAT quick for the season endingHS FINALE CONCERT!

5:30pm

If you are unable to attend this concert then there will still be a few other exciting opportunities this month like the IBArt Exhibition and the IB Film Festival.

There are great things happening at ISM and I would like to share just a few recent developments, improvements ansuccess stories.

You may have heard that our College acceptances this year have been extraordinarily successful. I amparticularly pleased that many of our students have been accepted at their reach or dream schools.

You would have been contacted this week by email with the launch of our ISM Summer Intern Program. Moredetails in this bulletin.

Mr. Toze recently wrote to the ISM Community about online summer school possibilities through an organizatiocalled K12.

We host IASAS Badminton, February 18-20.

The Battle of the Bands which runs over the next two weekends raises annually a substantial amount of monefor ISM charities.

ISM has just been announced as the host of the GIN (Global Issues Network) for February 2012.

We are also hosting IASAS MUN and Rugby next year. Busy times for the ATAC and Activities departments!

Senior Will VanKoughnett was awarded a National Merit Scholarship

Superintendent David Toze, was awarded International School Superintendent of the Year.

This week we started our second round of MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) tests in English and Math for Grades

and 10 and these will be finished before the Easter Holiday. .

As you may remember, the MAP tests from the NWEA (Northwest Evaluation Association USA) provide us with helpfudata about the instructional levels of our students. As was done in the first semester, the results of the MAP tests wibe sent home in the coming weeks. Since this is the second round of tests, there will be the opportunity to compardata from the first part of the year and track areas of growth.

Graduation 2011 is coming and we have been meeting with the Graduation Committee to plan a simple but eloquenevent. I took the opportunity to speak with the senior class on Wednesday and I reassured them that most, but not allthe hard work has been done. They have been involved in a challenging program for two years and now they must staythe course for the final three weeks of regular classes. I am convinced that they have been well prepared and will dowell. We are planning for a truly memorable Graduation on Tuesday May 31st to celebrate the achievements of the clasof 2011. I hope to see many of you at Graduation 2011!

Kind regards,

William R. S. Brown
