Dear Parents,

Congratulations!!! Semester one is over!!! Please encourage your son or daughter to rest and relax, read a book for pleasure. Enjoy and rejuvenate!!

Grade 12 – It’s been a busy semester! Thank you to Seniors and their parents for continued communication and support during this time. As more application decisions continue to roll in, please update the appropriate counselor.

Most Seniors are experiencing the “waiting game.” Some are waiting to apply to university because they have later deadlines (Korea, Australia, etc.). Others are waiting for application decisions. And some are just waiting for the next chapter of their life to begin. This can be an unsettling time. Here is an article with some advice for students on navigating this time. Early Decision and College Admission: Waiting is Hard. While the article is discusses Early Decision, it still provides some good advice for all Seniors. This is another resource on the parent role in the “waiting game”. WAITING FOR THE COLLEGE ACCEPTANCE LETTER: HOW PARENTS CAN HELP Congratulations to those Seniors who have graduated this week and are moving on to their next journey. We wish you much success.

Grade 11 –Reminder- The Junior Packet is to be completed by February 2.  If your son/daughter did not attend the Junior Seminar and/or not receive the Junior Packet, they should have seen their counselor.   Parents- Don’t forget, there’s homework for you too!! (Parent Perspective)

Grade 10 – Have a great break and do something nice for yourself and your family!  We’re all looking forward to seeing you in January, but for now, enjoy yourselves and be safe and happy!

Grade 9 Well done to the Class of 2018 on the completion of their first high school semester. There has been so much growth already in their high school voyage. 9th graders are encouraged to relax, pick up a few good books for reading pleasure and recharge the batteries for semester 2.

Upcoming College/University Visits

College Visits will resume in January

Please see Naviance for the extensive list of colleges/universities that will be visiting ISB.

Have a great weekend!
