FROM THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE:

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Re-Enrollment for SY2011-12

The Admission Office and the individual school offices are making plans and gathering re-enrollment data fo

next school year, SY 2011-2012. Middle and High School students must indicate re-enrollment intention

through their Course Selection form (which is done on-line). If you have any questions about this, pleas

contact the individual school offices.

URGENT: If you know that 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.

We currently have very few families indicating that they will not be returning and consequently there are a

ever growing number of applicants in a WAITPOOL for possible openings. This is causing great distress an

anxiety in those families that are waiting to hear if their children will be accepted into ISM. If you are sur

that your child will be leaving ISM, please submit a Withdrawal Notification Form. The Withdrawa

Notification Form can be obtained from the Admission Office or from the ISM website: Admission tab an

then click on Re-Enrollment & Withdrawal. This will be a great help for our planning and to the many familiewaiting to be admitted. Thank you.

Re-Enrollment requirements will be similar to last year and a Re-Enrollment DEPOSIT PAYMENT is no

required to reserve a space at the School for SY2011-12 . However, parents are obliged to inform th

School in writing, before the second Friday of May, if their children will withdraw at the end of th

academic year. There is a WITHDRAWAL NOTIFICATION FORM for such purpose and this must be submitte

to the Admissions Office before the second Friday of May of each school year. Failure to do so will lead to

deduction of US$1,000 from the Facilities Upgrade Deposit (FUD), in compensation for having held a spac

for the child and thus preventing the School from offering that space to another child prior to the summe

holiday break.

The Re-Enrollment Form and other requested forms for each re-enrolling student will be available by th

beginning of April in both 'hardcopy' at the Admission Office and online on our website under Admission and

Re-Enrollment & Withdrawal.

If you do not download this information from the website then please drop by the Admission Office during

office hours (7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) and pick up the set of Re-Enrollment Forms. Parents may do thi

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

driver or househelp pick up the forms, please give them a letter of authorization to collect the Re-Enrollmen

Forms for your child/children.

Regards,

Gary W. JeromeDirector of Admission
