It was great to see so many of you here last Thursday for the IB information night. Next Wednesday evening (5:45-7:30) will provide you a chance to meet your child's teacher and find out more about how the learning at ISS is organised.
I look forward to seeing many of you here on that day.
The timeline for the evening is as follows:
5:45- 6:20 - Meet the specialist teachers in the Multi Purpose Room (MPR) on the 3rd floor.
6:30- 6:55 - First session with class teachers
7:05- 7:30 - Second session with class teachers
NB: The two sessions with class teachers are the same to allow parents with siblings to attend sessions with more than one teacher.
Celebrating Success
Ran (G5.2) has been chosen a a winner of the CIVICA Tales of S Singapore in the Future writing competition. Her work will be published in an ebook to be published in late September.
A very big congratulations to Ran.
Important points of information
Absences
- Please inform your child's teacher in writing (either email or note) if your child is off sick for the day.
- If your child is off sick for an extended period of time (i.e more than 5 school days) please provide a doctors note.
- If you need to request a leave of absence from the school during the school year please contact the Principal.
- It is particularly important the students who are studying with us on Student Passes (SP) inform us promptly of any absences since the school is legally required to inform the Immigrations and Check Point Authority (ICA) if any Student Pass holder fails to comply with any of the below-mentioned attendance requirements:
a)He/She should not be absent from classes for a continuous period of 7 days or more (including weekends) without a valid reason *
b)His/Her attendance rate should not fall below 90% in any month of the course without a valid reason. *
*Valid reason includes the student being granted a Medical Leave by a doctor or a Leave of Absence by the school
School Lunches
You should have received order forms for the coming 2 weeks of school lunches.
If you missed the order deadline don't worry you can still order please bring in the money either as a cheque or exact cash in a sealed envelope.
The menu is available on the school website.
Also great news for parents is that the cafeteria is now open in the morning serving coffee and pastries for parents who want to pick up a coffee after dropping their children off in the morning.
Please feel free to contact the caterers if you have any feedback or suggestions: [email protected]
