CIS Family,
Are you looking for a way to become more knowledgeable about the inner workings at CIS? The School Advisory Committee meets once per month and is looking for a kindergarten and a first grade parent representative!
The SAC is an advisory body comprised of parent representatives for each CIS grade, PYP and MYP teacher representatives and the Head of School. The members work together to better our school through active discussion and problem-solving to recommend policy solutions to issues relevant to the students, parents and staff at CIS.
Please contact SAC Chairwoman, Robin Yoder if you are interested! (robinyoder@aol.com)

The Learner Profile for the Month of September is:
Knowledgeable
Knowledgeable students develop and use conceptual understandings, exploring knowledge across a range of disciplines.
Students engage with issues and ideas that have local and global significance.
Activities for parents
- Encourage your child to read books at home that correspond to the topics being covered in school.
- Ask your child about what they are learning in school and engage them in conversations about it:
"Why do you think that is an important thing to know about?"
"Can you think of anything happening in the world today that might be similar to that aspect of History?"
- Encourage your child to become familiar with current events and to read the newspaper and watch the news when appropriate.
