This workshop will help parents to think about how they can make a language plan to support their children’s language development now and in the future.
ISB is a Nut-free Campus
As stated on p. 32 of the Parent Student Handbook, ISB is a nut-free campus. We have many students at our school with serious nut allergies. In order to keep them safe, we do not allow any kind of nuts on our campus at any time. This includes the snacks and lunches that you might send to school with your child. Thank you for your cooperation and support in keeping our children safe.
ES After School Activities Update
Please note that next Tuesday, October 15th Parkour class will be cancelled. Make up class will be on December 3rd.
There are few limited spaces available in Some of our ASA. You can still register. Remember once the ASA schedule begins there are NO REFUNDS. Most ASA have already hosted their 3nd session so there are no longer any changes permitted.
I am in the office daily from 1:30pm – 3:30pm if you have any questions or concerns.

Cafeteria News…Did You Know…?
Michelle Ihrig

…That 100% of the chicken served and consumed across campus is Antibiotic and Hormone Free! Why is this important for you? Because long term exposure to antibiotics, whether taken directly or through another source, actually weaken our immune systems by taking over our bodies’ natural ability to fight infection and bacteria, thus leaving us much more prone to illness. Furthermore, our poultry is 100% certified Halal. ‘In Arabic, the word halal means permitted or lawful. Halal foods are foods that are allowed under Islamic dietary guidelines. Muslims are taught through the Qu’ran that all animals should be treated with respect and well cared for.’ A further belief is that Halal is one of the most humane methods of animal preparation. Now here’s to Chicken! Enjoy.

After School Supervision – Reminder

Families are welcome to use the ISB playgrounds after school hours, with supervision. However, during the school day from 7:00 am to 2:00 pm, the playgrounds are to be used only by students for scheduled recess. This includes the PK/Kinder playground.
