A Message from Kelly and Diana
We have had such amazing visits in classroom this week talking with students and teachers about learning. School has now been in session for five weeks and what a wonderful start to the year we’ve had. Our students are enjoying great learning experiences, teachers are focusing in on areas for further growth and we are excited to see such happy, engaged learners in classrooms. Semester 1 Conferences are coming up in the first week of October, but as always, please contact your child’s teacher if you have questions or concerns.

After School Learn to Swim Program (Pre-K session 2)
ISB is piloting a Learn to Swim Program this semester. We have started with Pre-K students and plan to add the other Elementary grades in the second session, which is starting after the October break. Currently, we are taking registration for Session 2 Pre-K only (October 27-Dec 4). Your swim lesson choices are Monday – Wednesday 2-2:30 or Tuesday – Thursday 2:00-2:30. You will get 12 lessons during the six week session. Please sign up on this link.
(Repeat) After School Supervision
Please ensure you know where your child is each afternoon and that maids and nannies understand ISB policy around supervision after school. For safety’s sake, ES students MAY NOT be on campus after school unless supervised by an adult in charge, appointed by the family. Thank you for your cooperation.
