We are excited to welcome each student back to school next Thursday, 13 August for the first day of the 2015-16 School Year.
Our ISB High School is a fantastic community made up of many experienced teachers and support staff. I am looking forward to working alongside each of these members of our team to help make this a great year.
Following are a few reminders as you begin High School
Uniforms and Dress Code
As you prepare for the start of school, please remember that all students must wear school uniform, which in the High School consists of the white or navy blue ISB collared shirt and one of the following:
- Khaki skirt, shorts, or pants purchased through the ISB bookstore
- Black skirt, shorts or pants purchased through the ISB bookstore
Please note that pants, shorts, or skirts purchased outside of the school may not be worn as a school uniform and ISB PE clothing may not be worn as a substitute for school uniform clothing.
Additionally, underwear of any kind should not be visible. This includes the singlet type undershirts, popular with girls in the past few years, and the boxer shorts of boys. Undershirts should not extend out of the uniform shirt at all.
For footwear, students must wear shoes that are comfortable, practical, safe, and do not reflect poorly on ISB. Slippers and flip flop sandals (toe plug or not) are not acceptable school footwear and will not be permitted.
The High School faculty and administration will monitor students’ attire to ensure that it conforms to our expectations. Please help us in ensuring that your student(s) only wear dress code conforming clothing to school. Please reference page 30-31 of the 2015-2016 Student Handbook for additional information.
Bicycle and Motor Scooter Helmets
For personal safety considerations, appropriate bike helmets must be worn (and properly strapped) by both students and adults while on campus. Administrators and security guards will monitor the front gate the first week of school and offer reminders and encouragement. Thank you for helping to support and model a safe environment at ISB!
Transportation
Only students with a valid Thai driver’s license may drive/park a car on campus. Students who are 15 years or older may drive/park a motor scooter on campus provided:
- Student has a Thai driver’s license for his/her age group
- Student obtains a parking permit sticker from the HS Office
- Always wears an appropriate/strapped motorcycle helmet (and only carries passengers with helmets) on and off campus
Golf carts must also be operated safely and be affixed with a parking pass from the Office of the Headmistress.
Many thanks in advance for working together to ensure that your child is prepared appropriately for the start of the school year.
