September- Inquirer
Each month at International, we focus on one of the IB Learner Profile traits, and celebrate students and teachers who exemplify them. As partners in education, we love sharing ways that you can support the development of these traits at home.
In September, our IB Learner Profile trait is Inquirer. Inquirers “nurture curiosity, developing skills for inquiry and research. They know how to learn independently and with others. They learn with enthusiasm and sustain their love of learning throughout life.”
Here are suggestions for how you can encourage your student to be an inquirer. Enjoy!
Ask your student about what they are doing in their classes that makes them think.
Ask your student what they are curious about (and why!), and share your wonders with them.
Talk through your “inquiry process” as you figure something out, so that your student can “see” inquiry skills in action in the real world.
Share what you love to learn about, and how you continue to learn, with your student.
Encourage your student to become more independent through things like emailing teachers themselves, completing their homework, and organizing their materials for school.
October- Knowledgeable
October's International’s featured IB Learner Profile trait is Knowledgeable. As knowledgeable people, we “develop and use conceptual understanding, exploring knowledge across a range of disciplines. We engage with issues and ideas that have local and global significance.”
Interested in ways to bring this trait to life outside of school? Here are a few ideas!
Ask your student about what they are learning and why it matters:
“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?”
Foster any area that your student expresses an interest in with books and activities, but also be sure to encourage them to explore other areas (so they expand their horizons).
Encourage your student to become familiar with current events and to read and watch the news and watch the news - from reputable news outlets.
Attendance Matters ALL YEAR LONG!
- The school day is from 7:30-2:05.
- Scholars missing school for 3 cores or more will be considered absent for the day.
- Absences for more than 20 minutes from a class is considered an absence. Time will be noted in PowerSchool.
- Attendance matters for all classes so if a scholar can only attend 1 or 2 cores for an excused reason, we highly recommend they do.
Scholars absent more than 10% of the school year (18 days) are considered CHRONICALLY ABSENT by the State. The first 9 absences are excused with parent communication to the school. Ten and over will require specific documentation for reasons listed in the handbook (located on our website).
Scholars are allowed 2 mental health days that have to be reported as such when reporting the scholar's absence. These absences are in addition to the 9 excused by the State.
High School Scholars: Loss of credit for a class can occur after 12 absences (Half Year Courses) or 24 absences (Full Year Courses). Please contact your Counselor to discuss how credit can be recovered.
Please remind your child of the importance of waking up early and being in school daily. If you need support and resources please contact Ms. Gibson at sgibson@crec.org or their school counselor (listed below).
