Dear Parents,

It was great to see so many of you at the Gala on Saturday. Thank you to all those who participated in the event. 

Attendance: Please note that students who miss more than 8 school days per semester are in jeopardy of not obtaining credit for their classes and not receiving an ISY diploma. To help ensure you are attending classes we will ensure the following:

• If a student is not at school the HS office will call home by 9:00 AM.

• Students in grades 11 and 12 who miss school on a day of an exam, presentation or when an IA is due will be required to bring in a doctor’s note.

 All students have been encouraged to see the counselor if you need help with time or task management.  If a student is not in the class the following will occur:

Skipping Classes: Some students are intentionally skipping classes to catch up on homework during the school day. When this occurs, you are missing valuable class time.

• The classroom teacher will contact the office.
• Parents will be contacted and informed.
• Students will be required to attend an after-school study period in the high school office from 3:00-4:00 the following day.

MAP reports will be shared with parents today, Monday, March 5, on INSIS. Parents will receive an announcement from the office via email.

The ACTFL Assessment of Performance Towards Proficiency (AAPPL) begins today in the secondary school during French and Mandarin classes in grades 6-10. It is administered to monitor student progress in French or Mandarin, to assist teachers in responding to instructional needs, and to monitor world language programming. For more information about the AAPPL, please follow this link: https://www.isyedu.org/learning/assessment - AAPPL.
