M IDDLE SCHOOL FRIDAY BULLETIN PAG E 2

Important Announcement: Re-Enrollment for SY 2011-2012

Re-Enrollment information for RETURNING STUDENTS for SY2011-12

Re-Enrollment requirements will be similar to last year and include submission of an updated HealthForm or Physical Form (depending on grade level) to the Clinic for a Clearance Signature and a Clearance

Signature from the Cashiers Office on the Re-Enrollment Form.

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

the beginning of April online from our website under Admission and Re-Enrollment & Withdrawal or at

the Admission Office during office hours (Monday to Friday; 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.). Parents may pick

up a set of Re-Enrollment Forms personally or your child can come to the Admission Office and get the

forms. If you would like to have your driver or househelp pick up the forms, please give them a letter of

authorization to collect the Re-Enrollment Forms for your child/children.

For STUDENTS NOT RETURNING next school year (does not to graduatingseniors)

If 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. Parents are obliged to officially inform the

School in writing on a WITHDRAWAL NOTIFICATION FORM, before the second Friday of May, if their

children will be withdrawn. Failure to do so will lead to a deduction of US$1,000 from the Facilities

Upgrade Deposit (FUD), in compensation for having held a space for the child and thus preventing the

School from offering that space to another child prior to the summer holiday break. The Withdrawal No-

tification Form can be obtained from the Admission Office or from the ISM website under the Admission

tab and then click on Re-Enrollment & Withdrawal.

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

an ever growing number of applicants in a WAITPOOL for possible openings. This is causing great distressand anxiety in those families (and in the Admission Office). If you are sure that your child will be leaving

ISM, please submit a Withdrawal Notification Form. This will be a great help for our planning and to the

many families waiting to be admitted to the school.

Gary W. Jerome
