Athletics Blog – November 25

Lisa Isom, Athletics Director

Session 2 ASAs Begin Today!

By now, everyone should have received an email confirmation about their child’s ASAs for session 2. There are still students on our waitling list for a few activities, so if you know your child is registered but is unable to attend or has changed his/her mind, please send me an email.

We were able to use the waiting list to add more activities or more activity spaces in many cases. In other cases, class sizes are limited due to curriculum or venue/instructor availability. We are using the data collected from the waiting list to try to build out our most popular ASAs moving forward.

Your child’s ASAs can be found on your Power School page. Their attendance will be collected here as well. If you have questions about accessing your Power School account, before contacting the PowerSchool support team you could take a look at this handy guide on resetting your PowerSchool login. If that doesn’t work then please contact PowerSchool support at powerschool@isyedu.org. For questions concerning ASAs contact me at lisom@isyedu.org.

YAC Soccer Championship Tournament

The ISY Chinthes took to the pitch for one last tournament of the season this past weekend. Under the leadership of coaches Michael Ramires and Maung Maung Tin (boys’ team) and coaches Nick Sturmey and Amy Htun (girls’ team) varsity boys and girls played Friday night and Saturday at South Dagon field. The boys’ team came home with the championship trophy and a first place win overall for the conference!

Missing some key players and coming off of a busy week, the girls’ team fought the good fight, finishing 3rd at the event.

The JV boys team headed to ISM early Saturday morning and hit the pitch ready to play hard. They too came away with the tournament championship trophy and a great finish to their season. Special thanks to coach Albert Stages for putting in the extra hours this season for this JV boys’ squad!
