Check out my week 12 message!
Dear Students,
With so much happening across our campus this week, it’s the perfect time to focus on one of our most dynamic Dragon Values: Engaged.
We’re coming off a tremendous KISAC weekend, where so many of you represented KISJ in your Season 1 sports tournaments. Your teamwork, dedication, and effort—both on and off the field—made us all incredibly proud. We also had several students participate in leadership training over the weekend, another wonderful example of how KISJ students embrace opportunities to grow, lead, and connect.
This week, there are even more ways to show what it means to be Engaged Dragons. It’s Spirit Week at KISJ—so join in, dress up for the daily themes, and take part in the energy and fun! We have the StuCo Halloween Event on Thursday evening, our Fall Festival on Friday, and the High School Band, Orchestra, and Choir Concert on Friday as well. These are moments to come together as a community, celebrate one another, and show your school spirit.
We also want to wish our Grade 9 and Grade 10 students all the best as they take the PSAT on Tuesday morning. Your preparation and focus represent another important part of being engaged—showing commitment and giving your best effort when it matters most.
What a week to be a Dragon! Whether you’re performing, competing, studying, or cheering for your friends, let’s continue to approach every opportunity with enthusiasm, pride, and purpose.
Have a great week ahead, and let’s show everyone what it means to be truly Engaged at KISJ!

Dear Students,
I'm writing this from Bangkok, where I have been at an educational conference for the past few days. I attended a number of presentations, and learned about some strategies that I hope to implement here at KISJ. However, I need your help! I need you to let me know what things are working for you at KISJ, and what things you would suggest to improve our processes. I can't promise that I will be able to implement all suggestions, but I am eager to hear your opinions and explore your ideas with an open mind. If you have a thought you'd like to share, please stop by the office or send me an email. Your suggestion can cover any topic about life at KISJ. I look forward to your input!
Congratulations are in order for our tennis teams! I haven't gotten all the results from this weekend's activities just yet, but I understand that both our boys and girls tennis teams have done themselves proud! Kudos to the boys' team for their GOLD and to the girls for their SILVER win. A special shout-out goes to Jiseong David Ko and the Cha sisters, all of whom particularly distinguished themselves on the court. Super job!
This will be a busy week, with so much to look forward to. Please review the schedule for Friday that Mr. Striffler will be sharing with you, and be sure to have a Happy Halloween!
Dr. B
