Dear Parents,

Thank you to all parents who have requested parent conferences for either next Monday or Tuesdayafternoon. In the HS we much prefer to pre-schedule these conferences so that teachers and parentsknow the schedule ahead of time and can prepare accordingly. Unfortunately not all parent requestscan be accommodated during the conference times, as sometimes demand for conferences willexceed the supply of available time slots. If you are unable to see the teachers that you need to seeduring conferences, please contact the High School Office to arrange a mutually convenientalternative time.

Next week is very busy, with the Parent Teacher Conferences at the front end of the week and ourvery own annual Filipiniana Festival at the end of the week. This is one of ISM’s longest standingtraditions and it seems fitting that we make a special effort this year, our 90 th year. Please supportFilipiniana this year with a kind donation, encouraging your child to wear a costume or a PhilippineCultural Club (PCC) Shirt. All proceeds and profit from Filipiniana go directly into the ISM DisasterRelief fund. This fund was used extensively last year during the floods associated with TyphoonOndoy and also provided immediate assistance this year with the floods in Pakistan.

I hope you have an informed parent conference, a fabulous Filipiniana and get to enjoy some restand relaxation for the October break.

Kind regards,

Maraming salamat po.
