Dear Middle School Parents,
We have a busy week ahead with some great learning opportunies for students, par-
ents and faculty. Every year at this me we invite two counselors from an organizaon
called Freedom from Chemical Dependency, together with our wellness program at
ISM this gives us the opportunity to work with students on posive decision making
and the potenal eects of substance abuse. The FCD team will work predominantly
with students in grade 8 having two sessions with students during their physical educa-
on lesson. We will then have a grade 5 and 6 assemblyon Wednesdayduring adviso-
ry me, and an assembly for grade 7 and 8 students during ourFriday
assembly
me. We will also have a parent coee together with the FCD counselor onFriday
September 12 from 7:45 -8:45A.M. in the Lile Theater.
This week we also have the opportunity to learn with Michael Thompson a leading
expert on child development. He will be presenng to parentson Sundayaernoon
andon Tuesday morning. Michael Thompson will also be speaking to students in Mid-
dle Schoolon Monday and student leaderson Tuesday. These will be great opportuni-
es to learn more and reect on relaonships and the process of how we connect with
each other along with developmental stages that children go through and how this
impacts relaonships. Exact mes and dates can be found below in the Parent Bulle-
n.
We will have our rst ocial Middle School Parent Coee on Tuesday September 23
from 7:45-9:00 A.M. in the Lile Theater. This will be an opportunity for us to speak
to you about what is happening in our Middle School, along with me for informal
conversaons with us and our counselor team. The topics of discussion at this parent
coee will be the implementaon of our new assessment and grading pracces, up-
dates on our BYOD program, what is happening with CWW and informaon on our
advisory program and how we are supporng students with their social and emoonal
development.
Over the past couple of years in Elementary and Middle School a group of parents
have come together to organize aer school lessons for students to further develop
and support Mother Tongue language development. This has been parent driven with
the hiring of instructors in the language and these have taken place in Chinese, Dutch,
French, Hindi, German and Spanish. If you would like to nd out more informaon
about what classes are being oered this year or how to set up a course please contactMei Jusay (jusaym@ismanila.org) our AFAC secretary who is located in the ES oce
area and she can put parents in touch with the other parent liaisons for the dierent
languages.
We hope everyone has a good weekend ahead
Yours in Educaon,
Simon Gillespie, Middle School Principal
