Dear ISB Community,
As part of our late start research, ISB will be trialling an 8:10am start time on Tuesday 3rd November.
The school day will end at 2:05pm and all buses/vans will depart at the usual times of 2:15pm, 3:30pm and 5:00pm. All scheduled after school activities/sports will take place.
We are expecting morning buses & vans to arrive by 7:50am. It is intended that all students traveling by Montri Transportation will be picked up 30 minutes later than usual in the morning, but please be aware that traffic may result in some delays.
We ask that parents do not bring children to school before 7.30am on this day.
This day has been selected for the trial as 3rd November was initially scheduled as an Early Dismissal Day. As a result, no learning time or after school activities/sports will be impacted.
Each division will send out schedule details for this day after the October break.
Once the trial has been completed, we will follow up with surveys for parents, students and teachers. We will also be reviewing Montri van departure and arrival times to assess impact on travel times.
A decision on whether or not to continue researching a later start option will be made this semester, after we have reviewed all survey and Montri data. If we decide to continue our research, we will make sure that we reach out to all community groups to gain a more comprehensive understanding of potential impacts before any decision is made.
If anyone has any concerns or suggestions, please either contact me personally or divisional administrators.
Sincerely,
Dr. Andrew Davies
Head of School
