Dear Students:
As you may know, yesterday there was a proclamation that November 16th
would be a non-working
holiday to celebrate Eidl-Adha. This was a holiday new to the Philippines last year, which the then
President declared and then un-declared, denominating it instead as a regional holiday for Mindanao.
Like most well organized institutions and companies, we arrange our calendar many months in
advance in order to allow for proper planning of the school year. Unforeseen holidays announced
with minimal notice are disruptive in the extreme. In view of this, I have decided that we shall remain
open next Tuesday and run a normal school day. I note that our counterparts at the British School
Manila are also planning to hold classes. Of course, out of respect for Eidl-Adha, any Muslim
student who does not attend school on that day will not be marked absent.
Yours sincerely,
David Toze

FROM THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE:Dear Parents,
If you will be withdrawing your child(ren) before the start of the second semester or at some other time before the close of this schoolyear, please read the following information carefully.
Withdrawing from International School Manila
First of all, we are sorry that you will be withdrawing, or not re-enrolling, your child in International School Manila. We hope, however,that their stay, whether for one semester or for many years, was enriching and rewarding academically, socially and emotionally.
In order to make the withdrawal process go as smoothly as possible, we would like to remind you of the following:
STEP 1: Please come by the Admission Office to fill out, sign and return a Withdrawal Notification Form. The form is alsoavailable on the ISM website to download and print and it can also be faxed back to the Admission Office at 840-8489.
STEP 2: If the student will be withdrawing BEFORE the last day of this school year, parents or students need to pick up the followingforms from the Admission Office (or download and print the appropriate form):
The Withdrawal Clearance Slipshould be taken to the indicated teachers and offices for signatures.1. High SchoolStudent Withdrawal Clearance Slip (Grades 9-12)2. Middle SchoolStudent Withdrawal Clearance Slip (Grades 6-8)
For elementary students, the elementary office will handle the withdrawal clearance form for them.
To receive the childs YEARBOOK, if withdrawing before the end of the school year, complete and return the correct formto the childs school office for follow-up.1. Elementary School Yearbook: ALAALA2. Middle School Yearbook: SALINLAHI3. High School Yearbook: KAWAYAN
Note that school transcripts and records will be available from the particular school office approximately 5-working daysafter the childs last day of attendance at ISM. Please coordinate directly with the particular school office if yourequire other arrangements.
STEP 3: When completed, the Withdrawal Clearance Slip must be taken to the Accounting Office Cashier. Only after theAccounting Office Cashier has received and signed the completed Withdrawal Clearance Slip will the childs transcript or schoolrecords be released from the Elementary, Middle or High School Office. Please note that one copy of the transcript is provided freeof charge, additional copies cost P100 each, payable at the Cashiers Office before release. Please coordinate directly with theparticular school office if you require more than one copy of school records.
STEP 4: The refund of the Facilities Upgrade Deposit (FUD) will be available approximately 15-working days after the signedWithdrawal Notification Form, by the parent, is given into the Admission Office. However, in any event, it cannot be releasedbefore the childs last day of attendance at ISM and the completed Withdrawal Clearance Slip is signed by the Cashier. The refundcheck can be picked up from the Accounting Office Cashier only upon return of the original signed FUD certificate. Note that therefund of the deposit shall only be made to the person or authorized company representative whose name appears as the certificateholder on the certificate. Please call the Cashier if you have any question about this.
Please allow the withdrawal process to go smoothly by starting the process early. Thank you for your help and understanding.
If you need help searching for a school at your next location, please try one of the following websites:

WHERE THE CHILDREN ARE:A Photo Exhibit By Ms. Gizela Gonzalez-Montinola, an ISM Parent
W here t he Ch i l d ren A re started out with a wish to get to know betterthe children of our country, the Philippines. We felt it important to beable to listen to children, often unheard, and in so doing allow them totell their stories: a girl who dances in the mountains, a boy whoembroiders pia cloth, children who sell sampaguita, who scavenge fortrash, who dive for coins, but also who play classical violin under thetrees. The majority of the children here live under trying conditions.Yet they face each day with a steadiness and lack of resentment manyadults would be hard-pressed to muster.
THANKSGIVING TRUNK For every P1000 purchase made, National Bookstore and the PTA will donate a Study Kit of supplies (with you namedas Donor), to the ISM Service Learning Program. A total of 600 Study Kits are allocated for this project.
