Dear Parents, Welcome to the month of April. It is hard to believe but in four weeks time we will be starting IB/AP exams and in eight weeks we will have graduated our senior class. Please check the HS calendar carefully and reserve all those important dates that you will want to be involved with.

IB/AP exams begin on Monday, May 4 and the last day of classes for IB Diploma students is Thursday, April 30. It is very important at this time of the year that all seniors remain focused and that they plan for a thorough review of all exam classes. The challenge is certainly not over yet and these final few weeks can often make the difference of at least a whole grade on each of their IB subject scores! Before the IB exams take place we will be conducting our second semester grade 9 and 10 exams. They will run from Monday April 27 until Thursday April 30.This will give time for teacher feedback and also allow teachers of grade 9 and 10 classes to teach a remaining unit of instruction, which will then be assessed in an authentic manner, prior to the end of the school year. Please note the last day for all students, grades 9-11 is Thursday, June 4, with a half day release.
I trust that all students and families will enjoy this coming long weekend and then again I hope you can make plans for a relaxing Easter Break. Remember the HS will be conducting regular classes next Tuesday and Wednesday and we expect all students to be in attendance. There will be no HS Parent Bulletin next week, so enjoy the holiday and do not eat too many of those Easter eggs!

From the Modern Language Dept:
Summer Language Study / Home-stay / Travel Program to SPAIN The ISM High School Modern Language Department is pleased to announce its Summer Language Study / Home-stay / Travel Program to Spain from June 6th to July 4th 2009 for students aged 13 to 19 years old. The program aims to develop students’ language proficiency and to broaden his/her cultural knowledge. This program is being offered in cooperation with Escuela Internacional Madrid (TANDEM), a school in Madrid and San Sebastian, Spain. Students will continue learning and, more importantly, will practice Spanish through total immersion in the classes and during the home-stay. The school finds families for students to stay with, assists in locating appropriate local resources for the group’s activities, plans outings, maintains a list of local medical and emergency resources, and helps with the orientation for group leaders. The language course proposal is to have 4 class sessions (45 minutes each) of language and culture from Monday to Friday, from 09.30 to 13.00 each day (with a break from 11.00 to 11.30). The classes will include language and culture subjects as well as adequate preparation for the cultural visits. Students will complete a placement test in order for the school to form groups based on the level of Spanish. Last year, 15 students from ISM traveled to Spain and all of them reported dramatic improvements in their acquisition of the Spanish language as well as outstanding experiences with their home-stay families and one another during their time in Spain. If you are interested in receiving more information about this summer course, please contact Laurie Atilano or Samantha Ramos in the High School Office, or email Adriana Vargas at [email protected].
