School Head Welcome

Dear Parents and Students of IISA,

The opening day of classes is August 24, 2010, and all students should be on campus by 9am. Due to Ramadan, classes will start slightly later than usual. We look forward to opening the classrooms and beginning the 2010-2011 academic year. The school’s calendar is on the website. According to the Middle States Accreditation, 180 school days are required and IISA complies with the standard.

For students, all days of the school year are critical, especially for those students in High School and studying to earn the IBD. Attendance is vital to success, thus parents are asked to observe the IISA calendar and arrange personal vacations around the school holidays.

It has been a pleasure to arrive at IISA and find a school that is strong in spirit and values. The goals for the next 10 months revolve around student achievement, curriculum, and communication and a shared mission that spans the next three years. In September and October, there will be several meetings designed to meet parents and discuss your expectations regarding the goals. Please watch for these dates and do your utmost to take part in these conversations, which will impact the learning environment of your child. In addition, save September 21 for IISA Open House. Out of all the school events, this is one of the most important for parents and students.

If you have any questions, please feel free to stop by or call the school. The door is always open.

Sincerely,

Shirley A. Davis
Head of School
