INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE
LEARNER PROFILE
PRINCIPLED
Learners act with integrity and honesty, and a strong sense of fairness, justice and respect for the dignity of the individual, groups and communities. They take responsibility for their own actions and the consequences that accompany them.
Self-assessment is necessary when speaking of being a principled person. Here are questions for us to use to
ponder as we ask ourselves, "Am I a principled person?"
Do we always try to do what is right, even when it's costly or difficult?
Do we live up to the highest ethical standards?
Do we compromise our values and give in to temptation?
Do we take responsibility for what goes on in our community?
Do we do our part for the common good?
Do we help take care of the environment?
Do we participate in community service?
Do we make decisions without favoritism?
Do we do the right thing even when no one is looking and we are guaranteed to not get caught?
Are we true to ourselves?

LUNCH DUTY VOLUNTEERS
Parents, we would love extra pairs of eyes on the kids during the lunch break. If you have a few minutes to pitch in, contact Dr. Diaz at diaz@corralesinternationalschool.org
to schedule a day and time.
Lunch Duty Times:
K-2nd @ 11:00-11:45
6th - 8th @ 11:30-12:10
3rd - 5th grades @ 12:00-12:45
Even if you can only stay the 15 minutes of overlap in between lunch groups that would be very helpful. Thank you in advance!

Dear CIS Parents,
I want to let all of you know that I have been diagnosed with cancer. My CHEMO starts next week on Wed. My doctor has assured me that with this particular CHEMO I WILL lose my hair. In support of this situation, 2 other ladies, one teacher and one parent, have said they would also shave their heads.
We want to make this a school event and our idea is to have a Library Book Drive in support of cancer prevention. The way it will work is that on Friday 3/11/11, I will announce to the students that 1) I have cancer; 2) my hair will fall out from the CHEMO; and, 3) that at least 2 other adults will allow their heads to be shaved IF the students can fill a tub of books by April 1st.
What I would like the students to do is fill a large plastic tub with good quality books, age appropriate for grades K-8, that they choose to donate. My goal is to have the tub filled by April 1st.
Books can be from thrift stores, Goodwill, Savers, or their own libraries. We do ask that they be in good shape, no torn or missing pages or pages that have been written on or colored. I will have a large plastic tub in the Library into which they will put the books neatly and gently!
We are asking for your support in this effort by helping and/reminding your child to choose a book for the Library Book Drive in the name of supporting cancer prevention.
Thank you all for all you do,
Nancy Light |

Students in grades K-6th will not need to make up snow days since they attend one-hour of school more than required by the New Mexico Public Education Department(NMPED). Students in K-6th grade are required to attend 5 1/2 hours of school and our students attend school for 6 1/2 hours (not counting 30 minutes for lunch). As a result, the last day of school for students in grades K-6th will be May 27th.
This is not the case for students in grades 7th - 8th grade. Students in 7th - 8th grade are required by the NMPED to attend 6 hours of school. Our students attend 6 1/2 hours (not counting 30 minutes for lunch). Therefore, students in 7th -8th grade will need to make up only 14 hours of school. Our middle school students will make up these 14 hours on May 31 and June 1st. Ms. Carrillo and Mr. Johnson will provide further information to the middle school parents and their students.

WHAT IS A BOX TOP?
A Box Top is like a coupon that you clip from 100's of products. Our school collects these Box Tops and submits them to "Box Tops4education". Each one is worth 10 cents. Box Tops is all about the difference one can make. This year, our goal at CIS is to raise $200. Here are easy everyday ways you can help:
Clip - Clip the Box Top from hundreds of participating products and send them to school. Each one is worth 10� when our school redeems them from Box Tops for Education.
There is a collection Box located at the front office table. Just drop off anytime!

Up to 15% of your purchase total is automatically donated to our school, at no additional cost to you. Plus, you'll get exclusive Box Tops deals and discounts! Look on back of flyer participating retailers.
Read - Buy books online through the Reading RoomSM, a partnership between Box Tops and Barnes and Noble. Our school receives up to 6% of qualifying purchases.
