Reminder: Parent Information Meetings for Standards-Based Assessments
By MS Principal, Tom Burgess
Parents are invited to upcoming information meetings on Tuesday, September 25th to learn more about our implementation of standards-based assessments, grading, and reporting. The meetings will be held at 10am and 6:30pm in the Cultural Center Theater. The sessions will be the same, so you only need to attend one of the two, not both. These meetings will focus on the most important reason we are implementing this new system, which is to improve student learning.
Reminder: An Open Parent Discussion about Teenage alcohol and substance use
Like most schools, issues of teenage consumption of alcohol and substance abuse affect our community. Our young people are at a crucial time in their brain development – second only to the brain growth that happens just after birth. Not surprisingly, introduction of chemicals designed to influence the brain, are counterproductive to this development. ISB continues to be a concerned community member regarding the choices of our students and their social behaviors. One of the many ways we address these issues is through open dialogue with parents about the concerns.
On Wednesday, September 26th, from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm in the MPB, we will host and open parent discussion regarding these issues. We will be joined by representatives from the Freedom from Chemical Dependency group who are experts in current issues of substance abuse. They will be working with our own ISB students during that week. Please plan on attending this evening discussion.
