Are you part of West Islip High School's International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme? Diploma candidates are required to complete ongoing and meaningful CAS (Community, Action and Service). This consists of time devoted to activities involving communities as local as West Islip or as global as the entire planet. Time devoted to athletic pursuits may be used to satisfy the “action” requirements of the program, subject to the approval of the West Islip CAS Coordinator. CAS hours may begin at the beginning of Junior year but must be completed by the end of the student’s senior year. The West Islip CAS Coordinator must approve student hours prior to the commencement of each activity.

If you are on track to receive an IB Diploma, you will meet your Civic Engagement requirement through CAS.

For more information about our IB Diploma Programme, speak to your school counselor or contact Mr. Gilmartin, our IB Programme Coordinator.

Student Engagement

Passport For Good is a student-driven engagement platform that not only propels student engagement through fun and useful ways, but also chronicles, captures, and measures student participation digitally inside and outside the classroom. Passport For Good provides real-time meaningful data districts, schools, and educators can use to provide better student outcomes.

Digital Portfolio

Passport For Good’s Digital Portfolio paves the way for students to showcase the impact their contributions have made on their school and community. As a result, students are recognized and celebrated for their community service, extracurricular, and career development activities and are able to showcase their achievements for college, scholarship, and career pursuits.

Through Passport For Good’s, web-based, and mobile-friendly platform, students have the ability to:

• Capture volunteer hours

• Chronicle their experience

• Measure the impact of their participation

Because this is a student-driven program, participants are equipped with an invaluable tool that supports their post-academic journey and beyond.
