On Wednesday 23 January, Ms. Creamer, Ms. Davis, Ms. Nicholson, Mr. Tamerou and Ms. Johnston will be traveling to Rome for the ELMLE conference. This conference is dedicated to middle school education and one of the key themes this year is programming for advisory. We are looking forward to hearing the speakers and sharing in job-alike sessions with middle school educators from around the world.

Ms. Claire Moriarty will join ICS in the middle and high school in January as a mathematics and science teacher. Ms. Moriarty comes to us from a secondary school in Portland, Australia. With seven years of teaching experience in Australia and Korea, she brings bachelor's degrees in engineering, mathematics and teaching to ICS, along with ESL, elementary, mathematics and general science teaching qualifications. Ms. Moriarty will arrive in early January and will take over five middle/high school mathematics classes added this year due to increased enrollment.

Interim Reports are being prepared this week and will be sent to parents of middle and high school students in danger of scoring a ‘3’ (mediocre) or lower for the semester. A ‘3’ is the minimum grade for a student to receive credit for that course toward ICS graduation requirements. Students whose achievement has dropped since quarter one will also receive a report.
