Dear Parents, It has been quite some week in the High School at ISM! Last week ended with the brilliant HS Finale concert. We opened the IB Art Exhibition last Friday and then watched some amazing Films at our very own ISM Film Festival. This Saturday on the ES field sees the culmination of the annual “Battle of Bands” event. If High School rock bands are not for you then I can certainly recommend 100% Dance Co, next Wednesday, followed by the supremely sophisticated and trendy Tri M Jazz Night. It is absolutely incredible what we manage to accomplish and this is of course due to the tremendous partnership between the school and your talented and conscientious children. Last year at this time I made some brief comments about the amazing amount of activity that takes place at ISM. I would like to summarize some of these thoughts again below. “Given global economic conditions it is not uncommon to hear within various national systems of the education sector being in crises. Stories of financial cutbacks and budget tightening are common. Unfortunately in some national systems the axe often falls on perceived expensive “Arts” programs. I am always horrified when I hear these stories. Here at ISM we fully support the “whole child” and this means exposure to the full range of Fine and Performing Arts. We have an extraordinary Arts program and I believe that this teaches our students to be creative individuals who one day may well apply their creative thinking skills to some of the complex global issues that we face today. I feel very fortunate to work in a school environment that values the arts and promotes creativity. ISM is a richer place for it and our students are better students.” This week we finished our second round of MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) tests in English and Math for Grades 9. As you may remember, the MAP tests from the NWEA (Northwest Evaluation Association – USA) provide us with helpful data about the instructional levels of our students. As was done in the first semester, the results of the MAP tests will be sent home in the coming weeks. Since this is the second round of tests, there will be the opportunity to compare data from the first part of the year and track areas of growth. The data from MAP will help to inform our instructional strategies and curriculum development. In the first week of May, Middle School English and Math teachers will participate in a workshop here at school about how to interpret and compare the data, and set goals for the future. For additional information about the MAP tests, you may visit the NWEA website at www.nwea.org for the Parent Toolkit. Next Friday will be a milestone for IB Diploma students in that it will be the last day of regular classes before their exams. I took the opportunity to speak with the senior class on Wednesday and I reassured them that most, but not all, the hard work has been done. They have been involved in a challenging program for two years and now they must stay the course for the final three weeks of their exams. I am convinced that they have been well prepared and will do well. Our College acceptances for this class have been beyond expectations. We are planning for a truly memorable Graduation on May 28th to celebrate the achievements of the class of 2010. I hope to see many of you at Graduation 2010! Kind regards,
William R. S Brown High School Principal

They do not have an exam on the Wednesday afternoon and can therefore leave school after their morning exam (apart from any student who needs to make up a missed exam).
