ISS directory of international schools
Is your family moving to a new country? And are you researching the schools in your new country? The non profit organization ISS (International School Services) issues a directory with an overview of international schools. It includes information on the curriculum, size etc. The hard copy is available for parents in the main library (reference section). A digital version can be found on the ISS website.

HS PTA Parent Meeting
Our meeting will be held this Thursday, January 26th, at 6:30 pm in the MPB2 (apologies for the mistake in last week’s eNews). We will be discussing the proposed move from a GPA to a 7-1 grading scale on report cards. The Board of Trustees will soon decide on what action to take next fall, so bring your questions and concerns and come join us! Parents of grade 8 students, or any other interested MS parents are also very welcome to attend. See you on Thursday!

IFF – Thank you
IFF team and PTA would like to thank all the countries and communities who organized a food booth this year. The halls looked wonderful! The colors, decorations and the smells were simply fantastic.
The energy and spirit of everyone taking part in making this day such a special one – that is the recipe for our success.
Thank you for all the volunteers, to the country booths volunteers, to those who made an effort in coming with their traditional dress for the parade and to the wonderful performers in our IFF concert.
Can’t wait for next year’s Fair!
Thanks,
Rachel Nahmias
