Welcome back to all our G10 students and a warm welcome to our new G9 class as they begin their journey into the IGCSE. The IGCSE curriculum offers an exciting opportunity for students to further develop their skills and knowledge in a range of subjects, setting the foundation for a year of growth and learning. In this article, I am delighted to share some important updates with you.
Firstly, we extend our congratulations to our current G11 students for completing their IGCSE exams at the end of the previous school year with the results being released on August 21st. Additionally, our current G10 Math Extended students received their IGCSE results for the Mathematics B course. Congratulations again to our G11 students and look for more detailed updates about our results in the next issue of The Comet.
Secondly, a reminder that G9 and G10 students are allowed to bring a supplementary device to take digital notes. Students may continue to take notes with pen and paper; however, they may take digital notes using a 2-in-1 device (such as a Microsoft Surface) or a supplementary device (such as an iPad). Using a stylus to take digital notes will continue to help our students to improve their handwriting as well as better organize their notes. Students taking digital notes will store them using Microsoft OneNote, so teachers will be able to view their progress.
Thirdly, teachers will continue to add homework notifications in Schoology, so parents and students can view both homework along with assessments in one calendar view. This will allow parents to be able to support their child in organizing their learning to improve their academic success.
Finally, as we begin this new academic year, we look forward to a time of growth, learning, and memories. Thank you for your continued support and involvement.
