SAFEGUARDING
On Wednesday, our counselors hosted a parent evening to review ISY’s policy on safeguarding children and explore how students use a popular application, Discord, to stay in touch with one another. Ideas were shared about how to keep students safe when using internet applications.
As part of Wednesday’s presentation, the following useful links were shared as resources for parents to better understand Discord:
22/23 Musical
The Wizard of Oz
After a number of years away, ISY is proud to present “The Wizard of Oz” to the community. It is being performed by students from every level of the school and we are having lots of fun putting it together. Performances will be February 11th and 12th starting at 6:00pm and will be located next to the library. Please come and support the students and enjoy the show!

Talking with your Child about Their Day
Parents often wonder how to get their child to tell them more about their day at school. They report getting shrugs or simple one word answers to their daily request for how their child’s day went. So what are some alternatives to our daily How was your day? question.
What was the funniest thing that happened today?
Tell me a highlight (or low point) in your day.
Tell me about your specialist class today.
Was anyone kind to you today? Were you kind to anyone today? Tell me about it.
Were you able to help someone today?
What made you smile today?
What did you fail at today?
What did you do during recess?
What are you grateful for today?
Were you able to try something new today?
What was the hardest part of today?
Who did you sit with at lunch and what did you talk about?
If you could have a re-do, what would you re-do in your day?
