Outre l'impact sanitaire, la crise du Covid 19 aura des conséquences financières et économiques dévastatrices dans le monde, comparables à celles de la Grande Récession (1929-1933). Son impact n'épargnera sûrement pas la communauté de Casablanca American School. Afin de vous aider à y faire face, nous proposons aux parents et les encourageons à traiter ou à conclure des marchés entre eux, en tenant compte de leur domaine d'expertise ou d'activité. Dans ce but, nous souhaitons créer une base de données avec les entreprises des parents. Cette base sera partagée en toute confidentialité et exclusivement avec les parents de CAS ; elle permettra ainsi de promouvoir les produits ou les services qui peuvent vous intéresser. Si vous souhaitez en faire partie, merci de nous envoyer un descriptif ainsi que le logo de votre entreprise afin que nous puissions les ajouter à notre base de données. 

=========================================

Besides the health impact, the financial devastation from Covid 19 will be felt around the world and is being compared to the Great Depression (1929-1933). In this regard, we must be alert to its impact right here in our community.  Because we care for each CAS family and would like to help as much as we can, we encourage our parents to do business with one another taking into consideration their areas of expertise or business. For this purpose, we would like to create a database with CAS parents' affiliations that will be confidentially shared with our community, promoting products or services that can be of interest to some or to all. If you are interested and would like to be part of this, please send us a paragraph or two with your affiliation logo so that we may add it to our database.

• Seniors - Sending results to University: As part of the services offered by IB, a maximum of six institutions worldwide can be selected (via the IB DP Coordinator) for free to send your IB results directly by IB, regardless of whether the results are to be sent in electronic or paper format. Of these six, no more than three institutions can be selected from Canada and the USA (of these three, only one for the USA). If you wish this service, please let me know before June 10th, 2020. For any additional request, you must submit it directly to IB via their public website at https://www.ibo.org/programmes/diploma-programme/assessment-and-exams/requesting-transcripts/.

• Grade 10 students: The online meetings are going well and will continue over next week too. Please be prepared for an open discussion understanding that the enrollment to any course is subject to approval based on your teacher's recommendation and your previous grades in the subject. You may need to reconsider the Universities where you want to apply or the field that you wish to study after high school based on the courses that you are allowed to undertake at IB. For advice on your University-related choices, don’t hesitate to contact our college counselor, Ms. Rana Haroun for advice.

• For any questions related to IB don't hesitate to contact me at azamfirescu@cas.ac.ma

Every Friday, I take a real pleasure interacting with our younger students in the Lower School. Yesterday, it was a real joy for me to google meet and read a story to Grade 3 students. Many questions were asked and children's responses were not void of good humor in these unusual times.  Thank You!

The End of Ramadan will be either, Saturday, May 23rd or Sunday, May 24th. To celebrate Eid Al Fitr, no classes will be offered on Monday, May 25th or Tuesday, May 26th. We wish our Muslim parents, colleagues and friends happy holidays with their beloved families. I'm sure it has not been easy with the confinement imposed on all of us by Covid 19 circumstances. We are aware too that Ramadan including its religious aspects imply celebrations with families and friends. We hope for better days for all sooner than we think. The End of Ramadan coincides also with USA memorial Day, that commemorates and honors all military personnel who have died in the USA armed Forces. Happy Memorial Day to our US citizens. 

This is Nader - the son of Mary Sucquet who was teaching Grade 6 in CAS back in 1986-1987.

My mother and I just heard the extremely sad news of the passing of Mrs. Randolph.

We are terribly sorry for your loss and convey our most sincere condolences to you.

We were actually recalling our fond memories in Casablanca with you and Marie while we visited Sheila Cunningham last October in Minnesota.

I will always remember how kind, smiling and caring Marie was to us.

At ICS in Madrid, I had the pleasure of knowing her and remember how she helped my little classmates and myself to make masks in papier-mâché. I was around 5 years old but clearly remember that moment.

The following year, my parents and I joined you in Casablanca and I still remember how reassuring her bright smile was when she welcomed us at Hotel Swiss.

One of my most cherished memories was when we would be invited at your place for dinner and when you and Marie would always entertain me with funny stories and showing me classical movies such as "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" which I watched recently again with a lot of emotion.

Riding in your car - a Citroën Palace if I am not mistaken - was always so much fun as you would both make me laugh so much.

And how could I forget how Marie would always have a kind word for me and tell me that she too really liked "Inspector Gagdet" (a French cartoon character)!

During these very difficult times, my mother and I send our deepest thoughts, sympathy and support.

We will be celebrating Marie's life and be sure to talk about her and remember her.

With all our fondest memories,

Love,

Mary Sucquet and Nader

Dear seniors,

At this time, all of you are starting to enroll in your universities. Remember that the universities will need 1. Your Final Transcript, and 2. Your IB Results. 

Regarding your IB Results, Ms. Zamfirescu has sent you instructions on how to send these results to your universities. As for your final transcript, you must request it on BridgeU.

Steps:

1. Log in to BridgeU, go to "Universities," then "Applications." 

2. Choose the university you are enrolling in:

For U.K. Universities: select 1. "Mark Sent" 2. "Conditional/Unconditional" and 3.  "Firm Acceptance/Insurance Acceptance" 

For all other Universities: select 1. "Mark Sent" 2. "Accepted," and 3. "Attending."

3. By completing the previous step, I will know which university to send your final transcript to. 

Please also update the admissions results for the universities you will not be enrolling in.
