iMPACT 2022 continues to propel forward. Over the last few weeks, our middle school students have been working in cross-grade level teams investigating, gathering data, and taking steps to make an impact on our local community.  This is service learning in action! The projects are designed and implemented by our students.

iMPACT 2022 is off to a great start. This week our Middle School students had the opportunity to learn from guest presenters who shared their stories of passion. Each of our guests is actively making a difference in our local community. Starting with our very own School Director, who, as you all know, is off making his contribution with the Mississippi River Challenge.

It’s been another great Olympiad. With Elementary and Secondary School students working together. Olympiad is an ISY tradition that has been a part of ISY for 32 years and is often referred to as the Greatest Day of the year.

It’s been another great Olympiad. With Elementary and Secondary School students working together. Olympiad is an ISY tradition that has been a part of ISY for 32 years . It is often referred to by staff and students as the Greatest Day of the school year. Students from various grades and friendship groups work in teams performing a variety of activities that are based on teamwork and collaboration. In addition to just being a fun day, the goal behind Olympiad is to develop our ISY school community where skills and attributes are valued and respected. Having a strong school community is essential as it develops a sense of belonging, provides a way for all students to be included, and helps build and strengthen cross-grade relationships.

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. 

Moving forward, we are also setting a goal to eliminate the hybrid /virtual program for the 2022-23 school year.  The only exception to this would be interruptions due to directives from the Myanmar authorities, or short-term COVID spikes causing class, grade level, or full school return to virtual learning for short periods.

March 4, 2022, is a school holiday.

It will be a busy week as we prepare for IB course selections and MAP testing this upcoming week.

I would like to extend a thank you to the parents who have communicated with the clinic in a timely manner with positive covid results. This assists ISY with being able to share the information with others who were in close contact.  As we adapt and progress through the weeks, please make sure to contact the ISY’s medical clinic if you have questions or to share results.  The clinic can be contacted by email at clinic@isyedu.org.

Next week we look forward to having our campus open to all students. In an effort to create a smooth pick-up process secondary students will be allowed on the front steps for pick-up at 2:30. Please do not attempt to pick up your child before 2:30. For those students walking or taking their bicycles, we encourage you to use the side entrance. 

t was a great week having our students back on campus during their transition days. In addition, on Friday parents and students received their quarter 2 grades on PowerSchool.

Today marks the end of the first semester.. With the close of this semester we look forward to transitioning to in-person learning.

It is great to have everyone back in classes after the winter holiday.

Happy Holidays. I hope you all have a restful holiday with family and friends.

This last week prior to the school holiday will be a time where topics, projects and exams occur. Please help ensure that your children attend classes throughout the week.

December is upon us. As we begin to prepare for the holiday you may find that your children have an increase in assessments and projects that are due.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope that you have all enjoyed the week. Please note that his week we will have a presentation from our college counselor and university representatives.

Details of the Wellness Survey recently sent out with some tips for keeping mentally healthy.

It is hard to believe the first full week of school is behind us. Next week we have the opportunity for parents to meet with teachers at our Annual Back to School Night.
