From the Middle School Office
Weekly Publication for Middle School Parents
Dear Parents:
We hope that you and your family enjoyed a refreshing and rejuvenating
Spring Break. The fourth quarter is sure to be filled with lots of activities.
Please encourage your child to stay focused and find ways to help them
manage their time, assignments and after school activities. We want the
students to enjoy the last couple months of the year and not to succumb to
undue stress.
Until April 15, students will be sitting for thesecond administration of the
Measures of Academic Progress (MAP). As with the November testing,students cannot prepare ahead of time. Please ensure that your child gets
an adequate nights rest and a healthy breakfast so that your child can do
his/her best.
It is that time of the year when we are seeing a lot of our students hanging
out on campus after school hours. Since the beginning of the school year
and repeatedly throughout the year, we have told all Middle School
students that they should not be on campus after 3:00 P.M. unless they are
in a supervised club or activity. It is not that we dont care for them, but
that we do not have adult supervision in the various areas of the campus.
If it is necessary for a student to wait for a sibling, then your child can wait
in the MSMC until 4:00 P.M. or in the MS/HS cafeteria. Otherwise, we askthat you make the necessary arrangements to have your child picked up at
dismissal time.
Looking aheadWe will be hosting a Parent Coffee on Wednesday, April 13
from 8:30 9:45 in the Little Theater. The topic will be Cyber Savvy:
Understanding Your Child. Please plan to attend.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Danielle Fredericks Clarissa SaysonMiddle School Principal Middle School Assistant Principal

Important Announcement: Re-Enrollment for SY 2011-2012
Re-Enrollment information for RETURNING STUDENTS for SY2011-12
Re-Enrollment requirements will be similar to last year and include submission of an updated HealthForm or Physical Form (depending on grade level) to the Clinic for a Clearance Signature and a Clearance
Signature from the Cashiers Office on the Re-Enrollment Form.
The Re-Enrollment Form and other requested forms for each re-enrolling student will be available by
the beginning of April online from our website under Admission and Re-Enrollment & Withdrawal or at
the Admission Office during office hours (Monday to Friday; 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.). Parents may pick
up a set of Re-Enrollment Forms personally or your child can come to the Admission Office and get the
forms. If you would like to have your driver or househelp pick up the forms, please give them a letter of
authorization to collect the Re-Enrollment Forms for your child/children.
For STUDENTS NOT RETURNING next school yearIf your child(ren) will not be returning to ISM for the 2011-12 school year, please inform the AdmissionOffice as soon as possible if you have not already done so. Parents are obliged to officially inform the
School in writing on a WITHDRAWAL NOTIFICATION FORM, before the second Friday of May, if their
children will be withdrawn. Failure to do so will lead to a deduction of US$1,000 from the FacilitiesUpgrade Deposit (FUD), in compensation for having held a space for the child and thus preventing the
School from offering that space to another child prior to the summer holiday break. The Withdrawal No-
tification Form can be obtained from the Admission Office or from the ISM website under the Admission
tab and then click on Re-Enrollment & Withdrawal.
We currently have very few families indicating that they will not be returning and consequently there are
an ever growing number of applicants in a WAITPOOL for possible openings. This is causing great distress
and anxiety in those families (and in the Admission Office). If you are sure that your child will be leavingISM, please submit a Withdrawal Notification Form. This will be a great help for our planning and to the
many families waiting to be admitted to the school.
