Dear Parents,
We welcome everyone back to school on Monday after a well-deserved break. We are all looking forward to the start of the second semester and to a new decade! The end of January will see the IASAS second season events taking place and of course in early February GCW comes along as well. Welcome back.

New ID Cards and Locker Updates:
Andy Vaughan
andyv@isb.ac.th
Over the holidays all High School Students had new ID cards issued and the HS lockers were updated with these new cards as we updated the RFID readers to the latest technology. This means that your child’s current ID card will not work when they return to school on Monday morning.
On Monday 13 January your child will be issued their new ID card in their first class on Monday morning. In order to get their new card, they will need to return their old ID Card and sign for the new card.
Please note:
- Your child will not be able to access their locker prior to getting their new ID card.
- If your child does not have a Period 1 class on Monday, they will need to get their new ID card from the HS office before they go to their period 3 class on Monday.
- If your child is absent on Monday, please remind them to come to the HS office to pick up their card.
- Please note that your child’s locker will remain the same throughout this change.
- If your child needs to purchase food prior to getting their new card first thing on Monday morning, please ensure they have cash available on Monday.
Many thanks,
Andy Vaughan
High School Dean of Students
