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

theCashier’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 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 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.). 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 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WITHDRAWAL NOTIFICATION FORM, before the second Friday of May, if their children will be withdrawn. Failure

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

evergrowing 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 Withdrawa

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

school. Thank you.

Regards,

Gary W. Jerome

SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM:

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

Dear HS Parents,

We are very pleased to introduce you to a brand new and excitinginitiative developed by the HS Guidance Department in cooperationwith the HS Administration:

The BearcatSummer Internship

ProgramAs we all know well, high school for students is (among many things)a time of self-discovery. It is a time where our students begin tobetter acknowledge their aptitudes/likes, where they hone theirstrengths and where they begin to sort through that rather

complicated map known as their educational and future career path.Unfortunately, it is often a map with gaps between what they learn intheir “academic” classrooms and the “real world” their teachers areworking to prepare them for.

In short, we hope to help bridge that gap for some of our grade 10and 11 students through a four day summer internship in June2011 with various companies in the Metro Manila area. However, inorder to make this work, we need reputable companies from avariety of industries to form partnerships with us and take part.

As parents of our dedicated and motivated HS students, you mayown, be employed by, or know of a company interested in supportingthis very worthwhile endeavor. We ask for your support in helping usdevelop potential internship placements and subsequently, lastingpositive relationships with companies in the Metro Manila area.

We ask that you take time to reflect on this important initiative and itsvalue for our ISM community. If you are in a position to take oneor more of our students as an intern at your company for 4 daysin June, please contact me at [email protected]. I can sendyou further information about this initiative and the actual companyapplication that is required.

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,Doug McQueenGr. 9/10 Guidance CounselorBearcat Summer Internship Coordinator
