Dear Parents:

As of this Friday, we are four weeks into the second semester, and

it’s time to reflect on student progress. For individuals who are

currently earning a C- or below, a progress report will be sent

home. If you have any questions or concerns about your child,

please contact your child’s classroom teacher or guidance

counselor.

Looking ahead…The Middle School Classroom Without Walls (CWW)

activities will get underway the week of February 14. The

teachers and students have been busily preparing for the week-

long activity and excitement has been building. Please take some

time to talk to your child about their grade level’s destination and

activities. If you have any questions about the activities, please

contact your child’s Homebase teacher.

Have a relaxing weekend and see you at Family Fun Day!

The ISM Swim team achieved very encouraging re-

sults at the IASAS Swimming Championships last

week in Kuala Lumpur. It is the first time for manyyears that both our teams did not finish 6th, our

boys finished 4th and our girls were leading JIS right

up to the final event. A huge improvement from

previous years and our freshman swimmers now

have the experience and are hungry for success

next year. In fact, they are already back in the

pool training for next year’s IASAS at Jakarta Inter-

national School.

Boys finished 4th. Girls finished a very close 6th

with JIS beating them to 5th in the last event.

Some statistics of note… There were 50 personal

best times.
