Weekly Publication for Middle School Parents

Dear Parents:

Today marks the end of the first quarter and we would like to applaud the teachers and students

for all their efforts during the past ten weeks. Based on all the hard work we have seen, we are

confident that the second quarter will be as equally strong and productive.

Now that the quarter has ended, Parent-Teacher Conferences are just around the corner and

information regarding Parent-Teacher Conferences (PTCs) will be sent out via email. PTCs will

occur on Monday, October 18 and Tuesday, October 19. Please plan to attend PTCs and talk to the

teachers about your child’s level of achievement. If there are any questions about PTCs, please

contact the MS Office for clarification. Prior to Parent-Teacher Conferences we strongly

recommend that you access PowerSchool to review your child's progress and set some goals for

second quarter. If you have forgotten your password and are unable to login to PowerSchool,

please contact the MS Office at 840-8550 for the information.

On Monday, October 18 and Tuesday, October 19 students will be released at 12:00 noon. Please

make the necessary transportation arrangements for your children so that they are picked up

promptly from school.

Have a relaxing weekend!

As a school, ISM has been a proud supporter and participator of ISTA, and we now have the opportunity togive the participants an experience they will never forget! We will be hosting the first ever Musical Theatre ISTA festi-val, and we are very excited about welcoming other international students to the Philippines and to our wonderfulschool.

get involved in this Middle School event. The most significant way for the ISM community to get involved is to providehousing for the visiting students.
