Language All Around

November has begun and at ISL Dixon our current theme is Language All Around!  This theme will continue until Winter Break and all classes will be engaging with the concept of language and communication always surrounding our daily lives.  Our younger students can work on their language skills at home by telling about their day with sequencing words:  first, then, next, last, etc.  Second graders may have already begun to read their surroundings, noticing that text is everywhere!  (Billboards, street signs, cars, commercials, t-shirts, etc.)  As the weather starts to get cooler, you may find yourself saying "Brrrr!"  How about some words that start with the /br/ blend?  (Bread, broom, bracelet, etc.)  Link:   /br/ stationary

SIBLING APPLICATION FOR THE
2020-21 SCHOOL YEAR

 
Dear Parent/Guardian,
 
ISL will begin accepting applications for the 2020-2021 school year on November 22, 2019.  Please remember that sibling preference is available to siblings of currently enrolled ISL students whose application is submitted by the deadline and who apply to the campus in which the current sibling is enrolled (Uptown siblings applying for K-2 can choose to apply to Dixon and/or West Bank Campus.).  The deadline to apply for
 K-1st grade is January 31, 2020. Application deadline for 2nd-8th is January 15, 2020.
 
* Sibling preference will be granted only if the current ISL student attends ISL for the 2020-2021 school year.
 
  1. Families can apply online at www.EnrollNOLA.org  on November 22, 2019. The application deadline for K-1st grade is January 31, 2020 and January 15, 2019 for 2nd-8th grade.
  • Please make sure to link the current ISL student to the sibling so that the child receives sibling preference.  
  • Prospective candidates must rank ISL as their first choice to receive Sibling Preference.
  • ISL does not have a wait list.  Once families are notified of placement, it is assumed they will accept the placement.
  • Prospective students in Grades 2nd through 8th will be admitted only if they are appropriately experienced in their language of study and successfully pass an entrance exam in the target language (French or Spanish).
  • Children must be five years of age by September 30, 2020 in order to enter Kindergarten for the 2020-21 school year.

What are we up to this week?
On Saturday, November 2nd, we welcomed over 200 ISL Team participants at the Crescent City Fall Classic race! It was a wonderful morning and great to see so many smiling faces. ISL participates as a community partner through the grant program. Depending on the number of registered participants, ISL is eligible to win a grant prize. Thanks to the participation of so many of our families, we got 2nd place and a grant award of $1500! 

We couldn't do it without you. Thank you for your support.

From all of us at ISL,

 
S2A Morning Assembly. Great job!
