Message from the Head of School – January 21, 2021

Career day
Our college counselor and her assistant, Ibu Noortje and Ibu Thari, have organized a career day for secondary students. Next Thursday morning, January 27, parent and community volunteers will share their “working” stories with our students. These opportunities help our students imagine the possibilities and perhaps plant a seed to a future career path. Thank you Ibu Noortje and Ibu Thari for your efforts and to our presenters for providing your insights on this special day.

De-Device
On Monday we will invoke our “No Device Policy” for all students. Devices will need to be kept in backpacks/lockers unless required in classrooms. I have been lenient as students readjust to the face-to-face learning environment, but I think students are all ready to take on this challenge now. Thanks for your support.

Survey
BIS would appreciate 5 minutes of your time to complete a survey regarding three initiatives BIS is looking into to help foster school growth:

  • Transportation Service

  • Summer Camp
