Curbing gadget

addictionGadgets (e.g. smartphones, tablets, etc.) can

be beneficial but just like anything in life, there

can be too much of a good thing. Here are some

tips on how you can encourage healthy usage of

gadgets:

1. Set firm rules on gadget use. These

include no gadgets at the dining table, or

setting a timer on the gadget itself to control

the amount of time spent on it.

2. Monitor the apps/games. Always run

through the app/game yourself to ensure that

its contents are appropriate. Massively

multiplayer online role-playing games

(MMORPGs) can be very addictive.

3. Never allow a young child unsupervised

internet use. Not all information that is found

online is child-friendly, so you will need to

exercise extra caution. If you are not able to

monitor it yourself, use a child-friendly

browser (e.g. KidZui Browser).

4. Always make it a point to communicate

with your child at all times about gadget

use. Let your child share his/her views on

how he/she feels. This way, you will have a

healthy two-way communication going which

will enable you to better connect with your

child.

5. Lead by example. As a parent, it is

absolutely critical that you understand your

role in setting an example as your child will

emulate your own gadget usage patterns.

Additionally, how you as a parent handle the

rules of gadget use will also reflect whether

double standards exist. The problem with

using the "do as I say, not as I do" parenting

method is that it will undermine your

authority, and indirectly teaches your child

that as he/she gets older, he/she doesn't

have to play by the rules. (http://www.asiaone.com/women/

SISC plans for WASC Accreditation

Renewal VisitSouthville International School and Colleges

(SISC) is preparing for the Western Association

of Schools and Colleges (WASC) Visit on March

11-15, 2018 as part of its bid for renewal of

accreditation. WASC is the regional organization

that is responsible for the evaluation of the quality

and effectiveness of schools in California, Hawaii

and the Pacific Basin. The accreditation renewal

process happens every six years (with a three

year mid-term visit to make sure the school is on

the right track), and SISC hopes to earn another

six-year accreditation with this visit.

A six-member team made up of school

administrators and teachers from various

international schools in the globe will be coming

to interview students and teachers, observe

classes, witness normal school operation, and

talk to community members. The visit intends to

make sure that the high standard quality of

education offered at SISC is maintained.

The accreditation process also enables the

school to reach out to parents, students, and

other stakeholders through surveys evaluating

SISC programs. Please answer the Expected

School-wide Learning Results (ESLRs) or School-

wide Learner Outcomes (SLOs) Assessment

attached to this bulletin to help guide the school

in the accreditation process.

The Early Childhood Education Division (ECED)

is holding an art contest for its Nursery, Pre-

Kindergarten, and Junior and Senior Kindergarten

students and their parents to stimulate the artistic

talents of the youngsters while strengthening

parent-child bonds.

Dubbed “Painting with Mom and Dad,” it’s a

contest where everyone wins in terms of fun and

parent-child bonding! It will be held on September

23, 2017, 9:00 a.m., in Luxembourg Hall at

Luxembourg Campus.

Bond with your

child through artWhy get an adult

companion ID?To ensure student safety, it is imperative that

the school is aware how its students will go

home and who they will go home with. The

Adult Companion ID is issued to the person

authorized to pick up a student. It must be

presented to the guard on duty upon pick-up

of the student for proper paging of name.

The Adult Companion ID is non-transferrable.

In case of a change in adult companion, the

Head of Discipline/Security must be informed

in writing ahead of time to avoid delays. The

old ID must be surrendered and the new ID

will be issued to the new adult companion.

SISC will not be liable for any untoward

incident that may occur to the student due to

failure in informing the school of any changes

in the Adult Companion ID.

SISC will host the International Schools Activities

Conference (ISAC) volleyball competition on

October 18 - 22, 2017. It is a great privilege to

host the event since it will serve as an opportunity

for the school to benchmark, to be further

recognized, and to network with other

international schools in the country.

SISC students and athletes will gain a lot from

this experience especially those who will host

some of the visitors. They will meet new friends

and be enriched by the cross-cultural experience

through sports.

In this regard, we invite parents who would like

to be actively involved in the activity to host at

least two (2) students from Brent School Baguio,

Brent School, Subic, Cebu International School,

and Faith Academy Mindanao.
