McAuliffe International SchoolSample MYP ReportPrepared: December 19, 2014Student Name:Rachel EpelbaumGrade:Grade 10Homeroom Advisor: Richard ChandlerDear Parents,An education at McAuliffe International School is about actively combining challenging and enriching experiences withacademic rigour and creative opportunities. We want our students to have the courage to push back the boundaries oftheir experience and to explore the possibilities that are available to them. Whilst we are proud of their academicresults, there is so much more to the education we provide. It is, therefore, important that parents wholeheartedlysupport the ethos of the school.Whether it is in the classroom, on the stage, whilst participating in an expedition, on the sports field or when servingothers, we want our students to experience the excitement of discovering they are capable of achieving far more thanthey ever felt was possible. We have high expectations of our students and they, in turn, have high expectations ofthemselves.On this note, I would like to present the first report card of this academic year. Let’s work together to create anenvironment for true development.Kind regards,Kurt DennisHead of SchoolAttendanceAbsent Present Late2Kurt DennisHead of School854
