The benefits of Week Without Walls reach far beyond academics. By visiting new countries, navigating unfamiliar settings and working collaboratively with peers, students develop independence, resilience and a stronger sense of global citizenship.

These experiences broaden perspectives, foster empathy and prepare our learners to thrive in a rapidly changing, interconnected world. Information about WOW week trips and travel destinations for this year has been sent out from each campus over the last two weeks.

Grounded in our commitment to High Quality Learning, Week Without Walls ensures that ISG students are well-prepared academically and also equipped with the life skills and confidence needed for success in the future.

All parent feedback was captured and shared with ISG’s leadership team to help guide our next steps as we continue to strengthen our parent and community partnerships.

Our review process includes what feedback can immediately be considered for implementation, what feedback aligns with plans and goals we are already working on, what feedback requires more thought, discussion and consideration, and what areas have we already explored and know we are not able to implement.

Leadership will be sharing with the community in various ways throughout this school year follow-up information as these areas for implementation are considered.  Some larger themes from the feedback were around communication, experiential learning, career pathways, mental health and wellbeing, digital citizenship and technology use.

We are grateful to our parents for their active participation and look forward to building on this collaboration throughout the year.  The next two opportunities will be virtual on the ISG Budget and Board Nominations.  We encourage you to please engage with these opportunities as well.

A feedback form will be shared as a part of each of these next two sessions for parents to share questions or ideas you may have after watching the recording and learning more.  This feedback will be reviewed and considered by leadership in preparing the initial budget for consideration by the Board as well as shared with the Board for awareness on parent’s interests and insights.

We look forward to continuing our partnership with parents through these opportunities in terms of transparency and understanding around the financial resources that support our students’ learning and growth.

Grounded in our ISG Strategic Priorities, Wellbeing & Belonging, High Quality Learning and Professional Excellence, the conference provides valuable opportunities for our educators and support staff to learn from one another, exchange best practices and bring fresh ideas back into the classroom, their departments, and their daily work aligned with ISG strategic priorities and personal growth plans..

We are proud of the commitment by our staff to continuous growth and the strong spirit of cooperation that makes ISG a thriving learning community.

If you have a question, concern or feedback, please reach out to your child's teacher. If the matter requires further attention, the teacher will share the feedback with the campus leadership (assistant principal or principal) for your child’s campus. Should the situation require further guidance or support at the central office level, the principal will share with the assistant superintendent or superintendent.

In cases where a parent communication relates to a potential breach of ISG Board policy, the superintendent should be alerted for follow-up and then if further engagement is needed, the matter can be shared with the Board of Trustees for further review.

This approach ensures that question, concern or feedback are handled efficiently while keeping an open line of communication between parents and school leadership. We appreciate your trust and partnership in fostering a supportive learning environment for all students.
