FROM THE OPERATIONS & SECURITY OFFICE:Operations and Security

Access and parking within the campus are important security and safety issues. For the well-being of all members of thISM community, those entering the school campus are requested to follow the procedures outlined below.

Vehicular AccessDuring drop-off and pick-up times, vehicles may enter through Gates 2 and 3. Those entering through Gate 2 shouproceed to the drop off area and, once the student has alighted or boarded, they should exit via Gate 1. Those vehicleentering through Gate 3 must turn into the covered parking area and use the designated drop-off areas. All vehicles musexit through Gate 1.

Alternatively, vehicles entering through Gate 3 may park in the covered car park. The spaces reserved for parent-drivecars should only be used by those vehicles which are driven by parents themselves. Vehicles in which parents artraveling, but which are driven by a driver, should not use these spaces. Rather, they should park elsewhere in the coverepark or make use of the outside spaces next to the power center.

Please note that Gate 2 may only be used by vehicles displaying a valid ISM vehicle sticker.

Family/company drivers should not remain within school once they have delivered a student. They should exit the schooand return no sooner than 1:45 in the afternoon for pick up.

Visitors to ISM may only enter through Gate 3. There is an area for short stay visitors parking near Gate 1.

The Pedestrian GateLocationThe pedestrian gate is located in the perimeter fence mid-way between Gate 1 and Gate 2. There is a paved area betweethe road and the perimeter fence, allowing easy access to the gate.

The pedestrian gate is solely for the entry of members of the ISM Community at the beginning of the school day. It will onbe open between 7:00 and 7:45 (8:00 to 8:45 on Wednesdays). Due to parking restrictions and in the interests of security will not be open in the afternoon for pick ups. During the time it is open, it will be under the supervision of members of thISM Guard Force.

Drop-off ProcedureDrivers should stop adjacent to the paved area and students should alight from the right side of their vehicle. The driveshould then move off, clearing the space for other vehicles dropping off students. Under no circumstances should a studenbe dropped off from the outside lane. This is dangerous as the student would need to walk across the front of anothevehicle.

Drivers are reminded that traffic regulations forbid parking on the roads around ISM. Therefore, vehicles should only bstopping for the brief tine it takes for a student to alight. Drivers must not wait for anybody to return to the vehicle.

Car StickersThe car stickers for the school year 2010/11 are available from the security office.

Each ISM family will be issued one vehicle sticker free of charge. Any additional stickers will be issued following paymen

of Php100.00 to the cashiers office.

In order to facilitate the easy recognition of authorized cars at the gates, the stickers should be affixed to the top right corneof the windshield. Further to this, old ISM stickers issued in previous years should be removed.

ID CardsID cards should be worn at all times while on campus. If you have not been issued an ID card, or you have lost it, yoshould obtain one by visiting the security office and completing the appropriate application form.

Vehicle checksThe practice of inspecting vehicles will continue. During off-peak hours all vehicles will be checked before they are alloweto enter the campus. During peak hours (drop off and pick-up times), all vehicles without valid stickers and randomselected vehicles with stickers will be asked to undergo an examination.

Whether an examination is conducted or not, it is important that the security staff at the gates are able to identify thoccupants of vehicles entering the campus; therefore IDs must be clearly displayed. Vehicles with tinted windows must rodown windows to allow a clear view of the interior of the vehicle.

Drivers, Helpers and BodyguardsDrivers, helpers and bodyguards should not be waiting on campus for students throughout the school day. After droppinoff students they should exit the school grounds and not return more than 30 minutes before dismissal time. Those whrepeatedly fail to comply with the regulation will have their access privilege suspended.

Only those vehicles carrying parents or other people with business within the school will be allowed to return to the campubefore 1:45 p.m.

There are designated areas for unaccompanied drivers, yayas, helpers and security escorts to wait for parents anstudents. Unless specifically authorized, they may not enter any other area. In the interest of security, and to prevencongestion at the pedestrian entrances to the covered parking area, parents are requested to emphasize to their employeethe importance of cooperating with the security staff and remaining in the appropriate areas.

Termination of EmploymentIn the event of the termination of service of a family employee, parents are asked to secure the former employees ISM IDcard and return it to the Security office. If this is not possible, it is important tat the Security Office is still informed of thchange of circumstances.

Finally, I would like to thank all members of the ISM community for their cooperation in helping us maintain ISM as a safand secure environment for our children.

FirearmsAll members of the ISM community are reminded that it is strictly forbidden for firearms to be brought onto the campus. Thiincludes concealed weapons carried by bodyguards for close protection. Any person arriving at the school with a firearmshould inform the gate guard and arrangements will be made for the weapon to be safely and securely stored during th

visitors stay.

Security staff directionsOur security team is endeavoring to make the school as safe and secure an environment as possible for all members of oucommunity. We as that everybody cooperate with us in this important task. In particular, all those entering our campus arrequested to comply with any direction given to them by members of our guard force. In the event that anyone is unclear ato the purpose of such instructions they can seek clarifications from the security office. Please note that it is the parentresponsibility to advise their staff accordingly.

Thank you for your cooperation. We are looking forward to another successful semester at International School Manila.Regards,MICHAEL FLYNNDirectorOperations & Security
