The topic on October 31st will be Sleep and the Adolescent, and will look at what our own ISB students are saying about their sleep habits and what they would like at home to help them be healthy. The presenters will be MS Wellness teacher Kellie Alexander, and MS Counselor, Carmel Kean.

Repeat Announcement:Raising Multilinguals Parent Workshop: Unlocking the World with a Family Language Plan
On Thursday, October 17, 2019, from 7:45 to 9:15 a.m. in MPB 1, ISB EAL and Native Language faculty and administrators will offer a workshop for parents from all divisions (ES, MS, HS) about maintaining students’ native languages while they also study in English at ISB. This will be similar to the Raising Multilinguals workshop offered in prior years, and is especially useful for new families.
At this workshop, faculty and administrators will:
- Present reasons to maintain native language, based on research
- Describe language classes and resources available at ISB
- Discuss the importance of making a family language plan
Faculty will also lead small group discussions of how to nurture particular languages, how to support multilingual development at home, and how to make a language plan work.
Please join us! Parents of students in PreK through Grade 12 are welcome. For further information, please email: nativelanguage@isb.ac.th
