Leavers from Grades 9 -11
Phil Rogers
philr@isb.ac.th
It is sad to say farewell to a number of our students from Grades 9 – 11 on Thursday next week an we wish them all the very best as they move on to their next adventure.
All these students MUST complete a Leavers Clearance form before important transition documents can be released to their new schools. These forms can be collected from a student’s counselor and be returned with all signatures by Thursday 9th June. If a student has misplaced their form they can see one of the counseling secretaries for a reprint.
If no Clearance Form is received a report card hold will be put in place and no transcript can be issued. Thank you in advance for your assistance in expediting this process.
