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

thCashier’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 o

April online from our website under Admission and Re‐Enrollment & Withdrawal or at the Admission Office durin

office hours (Monday to Friday; 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.). Parents may pick up a set of Re‐Enrollment Forms personal

or your child can come to the Admission Office and get the forms. If you would like to have your driver or househel

pick up the forms, please give them a letter of authorization to collect the Re‐Enrollment Forms for you

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 soo

as possible if you have not already done so. Parents are obliged to officially inform the School in writing on

WITHDRAWAL NOTIFICATION FORM, before the second Friday of May, if their children will be withdrawn. Failur

to do so will lead to a deduction of US$1,000 from the Facilities Upgrade Deposit (FUD), in compensation for havin

held a space for the child and thus preventing the School from offering that space to another child prior to th

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

evegrowing number of applicants in a WAITPOOL for possible openings. This is causing great distress and anxiety in thos

families (and in the Admission Office). If you are sure that your child will be leaving ISM, please submit a Withdrawa

Notification Form. This will be a great help for our planning and to the many families waiting to be admitted to th

school. Thank you.

Regards,

Gary W. Jerome

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
