Measures of Academic Progress (MAP)
MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) scores were mailed home last weekend. If you have not received your child’s scores, please contact Khun Arisa in the MS Office at arisap@isb.ac.th
Repeat Announcement: Cafeteria News…Did You Know…?
Our delicious home roast Turkeys and Honey Hams are available for personal order year round, not just on the special Holidays! Especially now with abounding festive celebrations coming up for many in the ISB community, this is good news. Orders can be placed by email one week in advance. However, during the peak seasons, the amount of orders that can be placed are limited per day, therefore early notice is key. Unfortunately orders are not available during school holidays/ closure times. Should you wish to find out more, please email: cafeteria@isb.ac.th Enjoy.
Repeat Announcement: Applications to Boarding or Summer Programs
If your child is considering an application to a boarding or summer school, please click here to access a form that explains the procedures in our middle school to support this process. Please review both pages of the form with your student. This form also serves as a cover sheet for each application the student submits.
For example, if the student submits three boarding school applications, three separate copies of the form must be completed. Most applications will require references or evaluations from teachers. Students must give teachers at least two weeks to complete an evaluation or reference and should first approach their teachers in person with the request. Students are also responsible for following up with teachers to ensure that deadlines have been met and all evaluations and letters are delivered to the counseling office on time. Please see your school counselor if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you!
