Weekly Word 6.2.17

Are you doing anything cool this summer?

As many of you know, we like to spread the word about all the big and small achievements of our girls through our IWA social media pages, our website, and The Word Magazine. During the summer we hoped to feature some of the wonderful internships and summer programs our students are doing. For those students who have a cool summer activity happening, we'd love to hear about it! Please send a photo, a brief description and a quote from the student (telling us why she is doing it or what she is enjoying etc.) to Catherine The dinger at [email protected].

2017-2018 Schedules

Your daughter's 2017 - 2018 course schedule is available for viewing on NetClassroom. There are a couple of details you should keep in mind as you and your daughter view her schedule:

Core classes have been verified by your daughter's current core teachers, so the placement on her schedule reflects the class she qualifies to take next year.
We have done our best to enroll her in the electives of her choice; however, sometimes her top choices are not available at the times she can take electives based on the times of her core classes. In those cases, we have enrolled her in other suitable electives that help her meet her graduation requirements.
During the summer, the periods she is enrolled in classes could change as we work to balance class sizes, but we won't change any courses without talking to the student.
