Dear ISOCS Families,
As you can see we have all been enjoying the sunny autumn days!

Here is the latest news and information from ISOCS.
Reports:
On Friday you should have received your students first progress report, following our first Unit of Inquiry.
We are one of the first schools who are trying to make reporting more timely and relevant to current development goals.
Many schools look to us as leaders in this field and we are always keen to answer your questions and receive your feedback.
Please return the student reports and portfolios to school this week for ongoing student refelcetion and record keeping. We can make copies at your request and will bind and send out all reports together at the end of the school year.
Student Council:
Students from all grades participated in our first Student Council elections. Initially posts will be held and modelled be Senior students on a rotational basis. It is our hope that we will have representatives from all classes in years to come.
All of the current Senior class have adopted roles on the council and they will all have an opportunity to try out different roles during the year.
Packing for school:
Clothing
As the weather starts to turn colder please ensure that your child is well equipped with seasonal accessories. (e.g. Hats, gloves etc.) We will encourage students to use them (despite complaints!!) if they are easily accessible.
Please label all clothing to assist with its safe return.Lost items will be stored at the "Lost and Found" behind the stage door of the hub. Items remaining after the main holidays will be donated to charity.
Snack
Please ensure that your child has a healthy snack for break time. Even as we acknowledge that there are differing cultural views on this, we do hope that you respect our request for nutritious eating during the school day.
The Canton of Zug recommends seasonal fruit and vegetables and whole grain breads and crackers. High sugar snacks are actively discouraged and chocolate, sweets and gum are forbidden in school (except for special shared school or class treats).
We ask students not to share/swap snacks at school.
Thank you in anticipation for your understanding and support.
