    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 Health
    Form or Physical Form (depending on grade level) to the Clinic for a Clearance Signature and a Clearance
    Signature from the Cashier’s 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 graduating
    seniors)
    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    children will be withdrawn.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 distress
    and 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.
