GLOBAL SWITCH OFF

Saturday March 27th

Last year, over 10 million people here in the Philippines

participated in Earth hour.
This year, let’s make it 15 million!
Please join us in showing you care.

for more info on the event.

ATTENTION: CHANGE IN PROCEDURE

Dear Parents:

Every year we have to deal with the administrative burden of trying to collect from parents the $1000 Re-enrollment
Deposit. This is difficult for many parents, especially those whose fees are paid by the sponsoring company, and more
difficult still for the school trying to collect from parents, especially those who are not sure of their circumstances.

This year we shall try something different. There will be no re-enrollment deposit. Instead, we shall expect all
departing families to complete the WITHDRAWAL NOTIFICATION FORM on or before May 15th. Failure to do
so will lead to a deduction of $1,000.00 from the Facilities Upgrade Deposit.

As I am sure you understand, we at school face considerable pressure from families applying to enter their children into
ISM. We have to establish the May 15th deadline in order for us to be fair to those families on our waitlist. The earlier you
can tell us that you are leaving school, the sooner we can provide clear answers to in-coming families.

Sincerely Yours,
David Toze
Superintendent
