Week of 9 December Week #14


Good Afternoon,

I will make this posting brief as I am sitting at the airport in Bahrain and the connection is quite spotty at best.
1.     Please make note of the dates to the left as it will be a busy next couple of weeks.

2.     This week, during the school day, we will also have for students:
·      a matinee performance of Peter Pan
·      a presentation from Carl Wilken  http://worldoutsidemyshoes.org/
·      a presentation on personal security and safety

3.     If you are not returning for the second semester and have not notified us, please contact us as soon as possible. This allows us enough time to have transcripts and other necessary records ready for you by the time of your departure.

4.     A few reminders:
·      As we get closer to the holiday, please make note of our policy on student visitors. We require a minimum of a 24 hour advance notice for any student visitors to our campus. This allows time for teachers to be notified so as not to interrupt instruction and allows us to ensure a secure campus.
·      We publish our school calendar in advance so families may make travel arrangements accordingly. As a school, we place a high value on student attendance and participation within classes. Travel arrangements that require students to depart early or return late are discouraged. As with all absences, it is the student’s responsibility to make an effort to communicate with teachers during any absences.

5.     ES FYI: ES StuCo is sponsoring the Angel Tree Project again this year. Please contact the ES Office for details if you wish to participate.

Have a good evening,
Rhonda Isley
MS Principal
