Your child’s Quarter 3 Progress Report is now available on Powerschool. The purpose of the progress report is to provide a summary of what has been covered during Quarter 3 and indication as to academic progress and learning behaviours as described by the ISY Learner Attributes. This report and your child’s progress will be further explained in our Quarter 3 Parent Teacher Conferences on Friday, April 29. As this is a progress report, academic grades have not been assigned. Academic grades are assigned in reports at the end of Quarter 2 and Quarter 4. If you have any questions about the report, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher(s).

ISY has come to the end of the spike in cases which is in line with what was seen in Yangon.  There are almost no cases currently being reported at school among students or staff.  Therefore, we have made the decision that, while students and staff are in outside spaces on the ISY campus, mask wearing will be optional.  As the situation changes we may go back to mandatory mask wearing at all times or may continue to relax the requirements so please bear with us as we move forward.

I am writing to you regarding our hybrid program where students not attending school in-person are able to join classes virtually.  This program was designed primarily for students unable to come back to Myanmar but who still wanted to continue their studies with ISY.

Now that we are back to in-person school I feel very strongly that any student able to attend class in person should do so.  Even in the situation where their teacher has been unable to return, a student has a better learning experience in the classroom and benefits from the social and mental well being of being with classmates physically.  

It is important that we prepare students for the end of the hybrid program and with this in mind we are setting a goal to phase out the hybrid program during the remainder of this year.  After the Thingyan break, only students who are residing outside of Myanmar will be able to continue to learn virtually for the remainder of this school year.  Students in Myanmar who wish to continue to attend the hybrid program will only be able to do so with special permission from their principal and only for select periods of time.  If you think your child has a special reason to attend the hybrid program after this time, please email Mr. Simpson on msimpson@isyedu.org to make an appointment to discuss this.

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.

Many thanks in advance for your cooperation.  Together we can hopefully begin a return to normal school life for the students of ISY.
