Dear Parents,

This week has certainly been another eventful one in the HS. The Freedom from Chemical Dependency (FCD)Counselors, George Brown and Charlotte Kavanagh, have been delivering their four day drug and alcoholprogram. This year FCD worked primarily with the upper MS and grade 9 students, though there were othersessions with student leaders and with the HS seniors. We also had a very thorough and informative meetingwith MS and HS parents on Monday evening, where George commented on the latest teenage trends andresearch related to alcohol and drug dependency. Unfortunately parental turn out for this event was small.We will continue to look at ways to encourage more parents to get involved in this important part ofparenting.

Next week is even more hectic than this week! Battle of the Bearcats is on Wednesday and I am sure youhave heard about the events and cheers planned for that day. According to the HS Student Planner thepurpose of BOB is to promote student involvement in activities, class spirit and of course, school spirit.

Here is a sample of other events planned for next week:

Monday Eid-ul-Fitr holiday

Tuesday but we will run a Monday schedule

Wednesday Battle of the Bearcats

Thursday - Geography Grade 10 Fieldtrip to Le Mesa

Friday and Saturday MUN Locals

Friday Sunday Pre IASAS Soccer and Cross Country in IS Bangkok

Friday Sunday - EPIC trip to Mindoro

Saturday Child Hope

Have a great weekend, it looks you will need the rest before the action of next week!

Kind regards,

William R. S Brown Michael DickinsonHigh School Principal High School Assistant Principal

From the Athletics Office:Dear ISM Parents/Students:

IASAS Housing:

The IASAS Soccer housing letter is now available via parent bulletins, the ATAC office and it has beendistributed to our HS first season athletes via their coaches.HS Students participating in ATAC activities must house in order to be on a team. This is an expectedobligation and is mandated in the school planner and on the ATAC page of the school website.Housing visiting athletes is an integral part of the IASAS experience as all of our varsity athletes will behoused when they go away to tournaments during their HS career. In order for us to ensure we are ableto host successful IASAS exchange weekends and IASAS tournaments we hope that all members of ourcommunity who have students involved in ATAC activities will be willing to house for this fantastic tournamentfrom October 14-18. We require 160 housing placements for our visiting male/female soccer playersfrom the IASAS schools.

Expectations of host families:Pick up and drop off of visiting athletes each day to school. Visiting athletes can ride the school bus ifthat is how your children get to school.Provide a comfortable place for athlete to sleep/assist the athlete with laundry of their uniforms.Provide a breakfast each morning and some evening meals. Athletes will buy lunches at school andmay have a team dinner together.Be available each evening to receive curfew calls from the athletes coaches around 10pm.Ensure there is parental supervision at home each evening you are hosting.

Questions will no doubt arise?What if I cannot house? You have to find a friend who can and get them to sign off on the form with full name,details etc.

What if I am away at the IASAS Volleyball/Cross Country tournament? You still can house as your parentsmay now have space in the house. Quite a number of parents housed last year when their children were awayat the IASAS Soccer event in Taipei.

What if I cant house for IASAS Soccer? You must commit to house for an event. Other options during theyear are: Pre-I Basketball in November and IASAS Art/Music in March. You should indicate on the return slipwhich event you will house for and have your parents sign off.

What if I live too far away? Alabang and Merville for example are not too far away! We have had a number ofstudents housed here at past tournaments. As a general rule we do not want visiting athletes to travel morethan 45 minutes to/from school. Please contact us if you have questions about the travel distance.

HOUSING FOR IASAS EVENTS IS AN EXPECTATION NOT A CHOICEWe hope you will support the 28

thAnnual IASAS Soccer Championships. Our varsity girls will be

gunning for a THREE-PEAT and defending the gold medals they have won the past two years and weare anticipating a great home performance from our boys team as they strive for a medal this year.

If you or your parents have questions please call the ATAC office and/or talk with your coach.

From the ES Guidance OfficeRethinking Parenting: How can rethinking our assumptions about parenting help us bridge the gap between whwe do and what we want?

Last year at this time, the PS-12 counseling department introduced Rethinking Parenting as a replacement from SystematicTraining for Effective Parenting (STEP) groups that have happened in the past. Based on the overwhelmingly positive feedbaccounselors will be running a similar (not the same) course again this semester beginning Thursday, October 1, 2009 and finishi

on Thursday, December 10, 2009. The group will meet from 8 until 10 am in room 1057.

This 9-session course will begin with exploring yourlong-term objectives for your children. Through selected readings,discussions, and activities participants will consider whether what they are doing will help reach these goals. Themes in thecourse include effective communication and relationship building. Additionally, this session will consider the topic of anxietywhere is comes from, and how it is perpetuated in our interactions and expectations.

For course registration, please contact Myrna in the Elementary Office. Please note this is a 9 week course requiring regularattendance and participation. It is not open for drop-ins.
