What can a Student and/or Parent do if support is needed for any IB related Inquiry, Question, or Concern? Also, how can a Student and/or Parent Request to Appeal a specific school decision related to the IB Diploma Program?
Parents and students are always welcome to email the IB Coordinator if there are any specific inquiries, questions, concerns, or to request an appeal of a specific school decision that is directly related to the IB Diploma Program.
In instances where there continues to be a concern, or if you feel your inquiry was not addressed thoroughly by the IB Coordinator, it would be appropriate to reach out to either the High School Principal or the School Superintendent.
IB Coordinator / Mr. Daniel Dobbe: ddobbe@amschool.org
High School Principal / Mr. Blake Swanson: bswanson@amschool.org
School Superintendent / Mrs. Liliana Jenkins: ljenkins@amschool.org
As soon as emails are received, a formal review will be made by the recipient(s) and appropriate support and follow-up will ensue. Transparent communication between the school and the parents and / or students will always be practiced.
If the IB Marks awarded to a student seem way off or if a student feels it's important to contact the IB Organization to better understand his / her IB Results - what can a student do?
An Enquiry Upon Results can be requested by each subject after the results are released in July, 2024.
This should only be done when the IB Mark awarded for a subject seems “way off” or if you just missed earning the IB Full Diploma and there is reason to believe a score in a particular subject, or two, should be rechecked.
Marks can go up, go down, or remain the same.
The cost per subject is $123 to find out and this must be paid to AST before August 1st of that summer. If it is found that your mark goes up, the IB Organization will reimburse you the $123.
Mr. Dobbe (IB Coordinator) will assist students when these types of questions arise?
