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.
