Happy New Year! Once again we have started a semester online, but as always it has been wonderful to reconnect with one another on Zoom, and to look ahead to next week when we are all back together on campus.
As a reminder, Wednesday, January 19 will be the last day for students to make changes to their class schedule.
Most importantly, during the week of January 24, we will focus on the theme ‘Words Matter.’ Students will explore this theme in Advisory through small group discussions, videos, and reflection time. The aim is to discuss the importance of the language that we use, and what it means to be an upstander in creating a respectful community. Our hope is that students will engage in dialogue about self-respect, diversity, how to be an ally, and how to navigate tricky social situations. While this may not be an easy discussion, we are hopeful that by dedicating time to this topic, we are continuing to commit to the ISB values of integrity, care, courage and responsibility.
Thank you,
Shannon
