Christina Powers, Secondary School Principal

The end of Quarter 3 is today. Reports will be available on PowerSchool on April 1, 2022. As you review reports, please note that on April 29th, ISY will be hosting Parent Teacher Conferences. If you have any questions about the Quarter 3 report, please feel free to email the teacher directly and/or attend Parent Teacher Conferences. As online conferences have been been a success, we will continue with this approach. More information about conferences will be sent after the holiday. 

 

Mississippi Challenge

To raise funds for the children of Myanmar, Dr. Hedger and his son Max have set a goal to canoe down 2,400 miles of the Mississippi River in the United States, this summer. These funds will be donated, from ISY, to two of the organizations: United World Schools (UWS) and Care for the Least Center (CLC). 

 

Senior Photos
On March 31st, (the day after mock exams) has been set aside for Senior Photos.  There will be no classes for seniors on this day. On March 31, 2022 (Thursday) we would like all seniors who are in the country to come to campus to have their senior photo taken. This is an opportunity to have individual photos as well as group photos if you would like. So come with your friends!
Please note if you chose to not have your photo taken on this day, you run the risk of not being included in the invitation photo or the class of 2022 photo. Those of you outside of the country will be contacted by the communications office who will work with you in obtaining a photo for graduation.
