Dear Parents,

Today marks the end of the third quarter of the school year. The year is flying by andwe are earnestly making plans for all those end of year activities, while at the sametime also making plans for the next school year.

For our seniors, next Wednesday is the start of their final school exams. These are avery good rehearsal for their actual IB/AP exams. A good lead up to these exams hasbeen shown to be excellent preparation for the IB exams, which start on Tuesday May4. Having completed all their college applications, extended essays and IB internal

assessments, it would be a shame if seniors do not perform in their school exams oreven worse their IB exams. We sometimes hear a few rumors about this time of theyear from seniors who have already been accepted to their university of choice, thattheir IB exams do not matter. This can not be more from the truth. Universities ask usfor final transcripts and have been known to withdraw offers where clearly a studenthas not completed their senior year to the best of their ability.

A favorite proverb of mine states that “dreams become a reality when we takeaction”. For our seniors specifically, but for all of the high school students at ISM,now is the time to take stock of our individual goals/dreams for this year. What canbe achieved to make our dreams become a reality before the end of the school year

comes around? Please take some time over the spring break holiday to talk to yourchild to reflect on what their goals were for the year and how they can be achieved.

I would like to add a very big thank you to all the parents who came to the HS ParentCoffee on Tuesday to discuss the engaging topic of the Internet and Social NetworkingSites. We had a very good discussion and I hope these discussions will continue athome with your child.

I wish all seniors the best of luck for their exams. Have a great weekend.

ISM European Community LunchDear IFFD Volunteers:

I would like to thank you all for your generous support of both food and time at the IFFD. Although it turned out the provided table

space was not as great as your contribution, I still believe it was a big success for all of us.

By the way, some parents asked after that event if we could get together regularly as "ISM European Community" and get to knoweach other, exchange and share information. Thus I decided to volunteer and to organize a lunch.

Time: 11:30am, March 17th (Wed)

Venue: Restaurant Chesa Bianca, 7431 Yakal St. San Antonio Village, Makati City

I picked up this Swiss restaurant run by Saentis group this time because they were so generous to give us 15kg of free sausages for

the IFFD. I hope as many of you as possible find the chance meaningful and join the lunch! We can discuss then further about things

such as how often, where and when we want to meet, and who'd organize the next.

Please let me know about your attendance by March 15 due to table reservation.

Cheers,

Ingrid Nagl

ATTENTION: CHANGE IN PROCEDUREDear Parents:

Every year we have to deal with the administrative burden of trying to collect from parents the $1000 Re-enrollmenDeposit. This is difficult for many parents, especially those whose fees are paid by the sponsoring company, and moredifficult still for the school trying to collect from parents, especially those who are not sure of their circumstances.

This year we shall try something different. There will be no re-enrollment deposit. Instead, we shall expect adeparting families to complete the WITHDRAWAL NOTIFICATION FORM on or before May 15 th. Failure to dso will lead to a deduction of $1,000.00 from the Facilities Upgrade Deposit.

As I am sure you understand, we at school face considerable pressure from families applying to enter their children intISM. We have to establish the May 15th deadline in order for us to be fair to those families on our waitlist. The earlier yocan tell us that you are leaving school, the sooner we can provide clear answers to in-coming families.

Sincerely Yours,David TozeSuperintendent
