From the Middle School Office
Weekly Publication for Middle School Parents
Dear Parents:
We ask for your help with encouraging students to return checked-out
school materials as soon as possible. Student report cards can only be
released when all materials have been returned (or paid for, in the event
that they have been lost).
The last week of the school year is upon us and we would like to thank all
parents for your support and encouragement of your children in their
learning for 2010-2011
As many of you know, after what will be eight years at ISM, I will be
leaving at the end of this school year. I am sad to leave the Philippines
and am very appreciative to have had the opportunity to contribute to ISM.
Thank you for your support of the Middle School during my time here.
I will be taking on a new position of Secondary Principal (6-12) at Beijing
BISS International School for 2011-2012.
I wish Simon Gillespie all the best in his role as the new ISM Middle SchoolPrincipal for 2011-2012. I am sure he will do a fine job.
I wish you and your family a safe and restful summer vacation. To those of
you moving on, we hope you enjoyed your time at ISM and we wish you the
best of luck you in your future endeavors.
Sincerely,
Danielle Fredericks
Middle School Principal
Clarissa Sayson
Middle School Assistant Principal

Important Announcement: Re-Enrollment for SY 2011-2012
Re-Enrollment information for RETURNING STUDENTS for SY2011-12
Re-Enrollment requirements will be similar to last year and include submission of an updated Health Form or Physi-
cal Form (depending on grade level) to the Clinic for a Clearance Signature and a Clearance Signature from the Cash-iers 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 am to 4:00 pm). 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 (does not to graduating seniors)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. Fail-
ure 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 ad-
mitted to the school.

Office upon payment of Php100.00 to the Cashier.
Student IDs
All students will be issued with new ID cards at the beginning of the new school year. This year therewill be no need for returning students to visit the Security Office as we will be utilizing the photo-
graphs taken for the yearbooks.
School Passes

The security office is now accepting applications for new school passes, however the cards will not be

the vehicles certificate of registration and a current official receipt need to be submitted with the
application. Applications for vehicles registered with companies or other institutions should be sup-ported by a letter of assignment.
Each ISM family will be issued one vehicle sticker free of charge. Any additional stickers will be issuedfollowing payment of P100 to the cashiers office.

As the year draws to a close, there are a few health issues you may wish to consider. This is a good time to
get the house in order and do all of those jobs you just havent managed to get around to during the busyschool year.
You may wish to take the opportunity to visit your doctor to review your childrens vaccination records and
get them up to date. Please visit the following website as a guide to vaccination schedules http://
www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/schedules/child-schedule.htm. I suggest that it would also be a convenient
time for your children to have an annual checkup (for those who did not require one for re-enrollment). The
children are very busy during the school year and it is a good idea to make sure they are in the best possible
health to prepare them for their busy schedules.
I would also like to refer you to the ISM public website to check out advice on dengue and tuberculosis.
These are two diseases that are a particular problem in the Philippines and we should all be aware of how to
prevent and recognize them. You will find some basic information at http://www.ismanila.org/portal/
alias__/lang__en-US/tabID__1220/DesktopDefault.aspx. (click on the link diseases).
One final request, we have recently introduced Asthma Plans into our program of care for children in the
school. They provide information on a childs asthma, what is normal for that child and what measures can
be taken in case of exacerbation of asthma. They should be completed in collaboration with a pulmonologist
or the doctor who is responsible for treating your childs asthma. If your child has asthma, please pick up
one of these forms from the clinic and pay a visit to your doctor. Its a good opportunity to review your
childs asthma care and to enable us to follow the same program of care as your doctor. Keep a copy of the
completed form for yourself and your doctor and give one to the school clinic.
Now it just remains to wish everyone a wonderful summer holiday and safe journeys and the clinic staff look
forward to seeing you all in the next school year. This will be my last message to you all as I leave ISM on
June 10th but I will be replaced by a very capable and lovely lady named Monique Reed. I know I will pass
the clinic into good hands. Thank you for all of your support over the last 3 years at ISM and 5 years in the
Philippines, its been a wonderful experience!
