We were deeply saddened by the passing of the Honorable King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Our hearts are with the wonderful people of Thailand during this time of grief. The world has lost a most beloved, revered, and respected leader.
Today, our middle school joined together in an assembly to honor and pay our respects to His Majesty. Head of School, Dr. Davies, and Headmistress Ajan Usa Somboon offered our condolences and shared the incredible legacy and impact His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej has had on the people and Kingdom of Thailand. We continue to be inspired by His Majesty’s legacy.
In this time of mourning, we remind you that if you or your child needs support, please feel free to contact one of our counselors:
- Grade 6: Carmel Kean –carmelk@isb.ac.th
- Grade 7: Karen Kinsella –karenk@isb.ac.th
- Grade 8: Colleen Coady –colleenc@isb.ac.th
October Break, Home Learning, and Assessments
by Cindy Plantecoste, MS Dean of Academics
October break is a time for everyone to take advantage of some rest, relaxation and to spend time with their families. We also know that many families travel to far destinations during our week long holidays. For these reason, our teachers will not be assigning any home learning over the break. In addition, teachers will not plan for any assessment to take place on the Monday or Tuesday following our vacation.
