FROM THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE:
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Re-Enrollment for SY2011-12

Re‐Enrollment information for RETURNING STUDENTS for SY2011‐12 
Re‐Enrollment requirements for all returning students will include, minimally, submission of an updated Health Form  or Physical Form (depending on grade level) to the Clinic for a Clearance Signature and a Clearance Signature from the  Cashier’s 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 year 
If your child(ren) will not be returning to ISM for the 2011‐12 school year, please inform the Admission Office 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 School  in  writing  on  a  WITHDRAWAL NOTIFICATION FORM, before the second Friday of May, if their children will be withdrawn.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 Facilities Upgrade 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 Notification 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 leaving ISM, 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.  Thank you.      Regards,   

Gary W. Jerome

SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM:
Dear HS Parents, We are very pleased to introduce you to a brand new and exciting initiative developed by the HS Guidance Department in cooperation with the HS Administration:

The Bearcat Summer Internship Program
As we all know well, high school for students is (among many things) a time of self-discovery. It is a time where our students begin to better acknowledge their aptitudes/likes, where they hone their strengths and where they begin to sort through that rather complicated map known as their educational and future career path. Unfortunately, it is often a map with gaps between what they learn in their “academic” classrooms and the “real world” their teachers are working to prepare them for. In short, we hope to help bridge that gap for some of our grade 10 and 11 students through a four day summer internship in June 2011 with various companies in the Metro Manila area. However, in order to make this work, we need reputable companies from a variety of industries to form partnerships with us and take part. As parents of our dedicated and motivated HS students, you may own, be employed by, or know of a company interested in supporting this very worthwhile endeavor. We ask for your support in helping us develop potential internship placements and subsequently, lasting positive relationships with companies in the Metro Manila area. We ask that you take time to reflect on this important initiative and its value for our ISM community. If you are in a position to take one or more of our students as an intern at your company for 4 days in June, please contact me at [email protected]. I can send you further information about this initiative and the actual company application that is required.

Battle of the Bands!    This  year  we  will  host  our  9th  annual  Battle  of  the  Bands,  an  event  which  has  become  a  very  inspiring  tradition  at  ISM.  Not only does it bring hundreds of people  together  to  appreciate  and  support  music  and  talent  throughout  our  school’s  community,  but  it  also  raises  awareness  and funds for a cause in the Philippines.    This  year’s  profits  will  fund  an  Aeta  community in Mount Pinatubo. The aim is  to  assist  these  provincial  inhabitants  by  “lighting  up”  or  providing  electricity  to  their  school.  The  BOB  Committee  and  the  ISM  community  will  work  together  to  provide  sustainable  solar  technology  necessary  to  generate  and  supply  electricity for lights, a  multimedia system,  as  well  as  computer  and  radio  systems.    We invite you and your families to join us  this  year  at  our  Preliminary  show  on  Saturday  April  9  and  our  Finals  show  on  April  15.  They  will  both  be  great  shows  supplemented  with  amazing  food  from  vendors  such  as  Cafe  Mediterranean  and  Bar Dolci as well as ISM Cultural Clubs   

Thank you for your support. Sincerely, Doug McQueen Gr. 9/10 Guidance Counselor Bearcat Summer Internship Coordinator
