Hello CIS families!
Please make sure to look in your child's book bag for the video release form we sent home on Friday. Please sign it and return it on Monday. Video and/or pictures may be taken when Ms Nancy and other good people shave their heads in the courtyard Tuesday afternoon. If you have not returned the video release for your child, we can make sure they are in a special area out of camera range.
Ms Nancy has been very gracious in being honest with our children about her cancer and this is an excellent window of learning for our children to understand this disease. She will be shaving her head on Tuesday in a way to bring awareness to the continued need for breast cancer research.
It is not too late to bring in your books for the library book drive!!
Please let us know if you have any questions.

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.

BOX TOPS
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!
Shop online - Shop at your favorite online stores through the Box Tops MarketplaceŽ (boxtops4education.com/marketplace). 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.
Sign up -- It's easy and free. Sign up to support our school at boxtops4education.com. Contact Carrie Dabau, the CIS Box Top Coordinator at 480.620.2056 or cdabau@q.com

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?
