Tomorrow is International Day! This has always been a highlight of our ISY calendar and it is wonderful to have it back in-person and on campus this year. Thank you to everyone who has helped to organize this day to celebrate who we are as a community of compassionate global citizens.

ISY MUSICAL PRODUCTION

THE WIZARD OF OZ

Dear Secondary Students!

I am very excited to announce we will be holding auditions for the musical “The Wizard of Oz” on November 30, December 2, and December 3.  We are looking for students that are willing to do their best and try something new.  If you don’t have experience or are worried that you may not be the best at acting or singing, don’t worry. There are many roles, with many different skills needed.  If you are interested, but would like to talk to someone about what it means to audition and be in the show, please contact either Ms. Bekka (A304), Ms. Sahana (D101), or Ms. Cassie (D204).  

Good Luck!  

The Directors (Ms. Cassie, Ms. Sahana, Ms. Bekka)

 

 

Student Dress Code

In the absence of a school uniform, ISY students are expected to demonstrate pride in themselves and in their school by their manner of dress and appearance.

Clothes, make-up, and hairstyles shall be neat and clean.  While we want students to be able to express themselves, students need to dress practically for all learning activities and with respect to the diverse cultural norms of an international learning community. Clothing and jewelry with drug, tobacco, alcohol, or other questionable, inflammatory or inappropriate slogans or pictures are unacceptable.

Healthy Eating

A healthy diet helps a child learn, so we encourage and support parents to provide healthy food options for their children. Please note that we ask students not to chew gum.

Also, we have two vendors on campus who are offering healthy meat-free food choices. If you would like to send food from home, we encourage these to be healthy food choices; fast food is not encouraged. Food sent should be for your child only.
