Semester 2 Schedules
Phil Rogers
philr@isb.ac.th
Welcome back to parents and students for the second semester. In the High School we are up and running from the first day with classes starting at 7:20am on Monday with Block 1. Students have been asked to access their Semester 2 schedules via PowerSchool. Schedules will be finalised and available on PowerSchool from Sunday morning 10th January.
Changes to courses resulting in schedules changes can occur in consultation with a counselor for the first 8 days of the semester (no later than Wednesday 20th January).
Excusing Absences
Andy Vaughan
andyv@isb.ac.th
As a reminder as we begin semester two, any absence for HS students should be excused by parents via a phone call to the HS Attendance secretary, Khun Gade 02 963 5883 (ext. 3305). It is appreciated if this phone call can be received before 8.30am so that we can alert teachers early.
It is important that we receive this parental contact, because without it, your child is marked as absent (X). Unexcused absences may result in additional on consequences.
You can see whether your child has been marked absent (X) on any day using PowerSchool. If we receive confirmation from parents that the absence is excused (Student Handbook, page 25-26), then we adjust the code to reflect that (AbE). Please help us to ensure we best understand reasons for your child missing school.
Please note if a student misses a class during the day, they may not participate in co-curricular activities on that day without prior approval from the Dean of Students.
For extended absences, parents should email counsellors and also copy in Andy Vaughan (andyv@isb.ac.th) and Khun Gade(sasivimb@isb.ac.th) for approval.
