ES Report Card: Trimester 1
We send home report cards each year (November, February and June). This year the first report card goes online on Friday, November 13, 2015, available on Powerschool. Please look over the report with your child, discussing strength, areas for growth and goals. It is our aim that report cards are a spring-board for positive family conversations about learning. For any questions regarding Powerschool log-ons, please contact K. Goff trins@isb.ac.th or K. Tom cholthis@isb.ac.th

Cafeteria News…Did You Know…?
After having traveled around the culinary globe during International Week, we are extremely surprised and proud to announce the Unexpected ‘It’ Dish of the Week – the Vegetarian Chinese Soup – which was served on Monday while celebrating Chinese cuisine. Cauliflower, Carrots, Tomatoes, Mushrooms, Spring Onions, Lettuce and noodles came to a soft boil in a homemade vegetable broth, leaving an exotic yet subtle burst of flavor in our mouth. The kids loved it so much, we were making 2nd and 3rd batches of it. Here’s to celebrating our fantastic attributes of being risk takers at the lunch buffet and moving towards a balanced and healthy pallet. Enjoy.
