We are thrilled to extend a warm welcome back to school as you embark on this significant phase of your academic journey. Let’s make this year a stepping stone towards your academic success, where your dedication and hard work pave the way for a future filled with opportunities and accomplishments!
Important policies worth noting:
Smart Devices- In order to give students the ability to better concentrate on their learning and the space in which they can better foster human relationships, we are going to ask every student in the secondary school to put their phones in their lockers first thing in the morning.DP students can check their phones briefly over lunch, but not in the Hall (canteen).
Uniform – DP students are not required to wear a school uniform, but there is a set of requirements for them to follow. Please check the dress code policy.
Punctuality – Lessons in DP start at 8:50. This will allow students that uses the buses to arrive on time for the first lesson.
Mentors – Every student has been assigned a mentor. Mentors serve as guides, supporters, and advocates. They will collaborate with students to set academic and personal objectives, regularly assess their progress, provide holistic support for their academic, personal, and emotional development, and serve as the first point of contact for parents to discuss their child’s progress, concerns, or questions. You will receive an email from them next week.
Amor & Campus Boundaries – DP students have access to Amor during the morning break (11:05 – 11:20), the lunch break (13:35 – 14:15) and study periods. During their study periods students can stay in the DP building, access the library or go to Amor. The MYP Building, Serra or the College building are off-limits.
Scooters – Since the Campus is getting bigger and bigger and our brand new building requires a few more steps than before, we thought we would make BIT scooters available to you at the extremely advantageous cost of 5 euros per month for 10 months from now until the end of June. To access this special advantage, from Monday you can activate your profile on the BIT App using your email @student.h-is.com. The scooter will only operate in on-campus spaces and not on private roads. Enjoy it carefully, go slowly, and do not use it with two people!
Lockers – DP students will have a locker to store books, school supplies and their devices. They will be assigned a locker by email at the end of this week and they will be given instructions on how to set up theircode.
Thank you
Kind regards
Sara Casagrande, DP Coordinator
