This is the last communication of the 2016 – 2017 school year and I wish you all a safe, relaxing and enjoyable break, I hope you get to spend time with both your immediate and extended families.
To our graduating seniors and other departing students I wish you all success in your future endeavours and that your memories of ISB and the values that guide us as a community stay with you.
To returning students and the rising freshmen our welcome back assembly is at 7:15 on Tuesday August 15th.
On a personal note this year is my last year at ISB and I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the colleagues, students and parents who contribute so much to the ISB community and make it such a wonderful place. We wish you all the very best and will miss you!

Leavers from Grades 9 -11
Susan Canobie
susanca@isb.ac.th
It is always sad to say farewell to a number of students from ISB next week and 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 8th 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.

Annual Medical Screening For Students
Sally Plomley
sallyp@isb.ac.th
It is the time of year when we need to start the medical screening process for ALL students.
We have modified the screening process so there is a basic medical screen for most students with a more extensive screen for students entering Grades 3, 6, 9 and 11 which includes a tuberculosis screen. Any student who has had a new student medical examination after January 2017 will not need a repeat examination. All students must fill in the Nurse Medication Consent form.
Forms are available for download from the ISB website. ISB Health Services Forms and Resources
Any student with Diabetes, Asthma or Anaphylaxis will also need an action plan filled out by the doctor. Forms are available for download from the ISB website. ISB Health Services Forms and Resources
ALL FORMS MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE HEALTH CLINIC BY JUNE 30 2017 either in person or via email nurse@isb.ac.th
