Announcement 01: World Tolerance Day – Spirit Day

As part of our ongoing commitment to fostering a culture of respect, inclusion, and global awareness, we are pleased to announce our Whole-School Spirit Day in recognition of World Tolerance Day on Thursday, November 27.

To symbolize peace and unity, we encourage all students to come dressed all in white on this special day.

Dress Code Guidelines

To ensure a respectful and consistent appearance across all divisions, please take note of the following guidelines:

  • No ripped jeans
  • No tight or revealing clothing
  • Stay on theme — all white attire preferred

This day serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of embracing diversitylistening with empathy, and standing together as one inclusive community.

We appreciate your continued support in helping our students live out these values both inside and outside the classroom.

As Kofi Annan once said:

“Tolerance, inter-cultural dialogue and respect for diversity are more essential than ever in a world where people are becoming more and more closely interconnected.”

We look forward to celebrating this meaningful occasion together.

Announcement 02: Professional Learning Day for IPS Staff

As part of our commitment to lifelong learning, aligned with the school's vision & mission, we are dedicated to the continual professional development of our staff. With this in mind, we have scheduled two Professional Development Days for all of our employees during the academic year. 

Please mark your calendars for the following dates:

  • First PD day: Sunday, December 7, 2025.
  • Second PD day: Wednesday, April 22, 2026.
  • IPS Academic Calendar 2025-2026Link

On these dates, the school will be closed to students, giving them an extended period of rest and renewal. This will allow them to return after the break with greater energy and enthusiasm, fully ready to engage in learning with refreshed motivation.

Thank you for your understanding and continuous support. Together, we will continue to make this academic year a highly productive and fulfilling one for our entire community.

Announcement 03: Diabetes Awareness Week

As part of our efforts to promote health education and community awareness, our school will be taking part in Diabetes Awareness Week. Please be reminded that we will be hosting Blue Day on Thursday, November 20th, and we warmly invite all students to come to school wearing blue.

Blue is the international color for diabetes awareness, and this simple gesture helps us show support for the many children, adults, and families affected by diabetes. By participating, our students learn the importance of compassion, understanding, and supporting one another.

Throughout the following week, grade-appropriate activities and discussions will help students learn more about diabetes, healthy habits, and ways we can contribute to a caring and informed school environment.

  • Sunday, November 23, 2025
    NHS members will engage students in grades 1–3 in coloring activities, which will be transformed into a mural for diabetes awareness and displayed at IPS.
  • Monday, November 24, 2025
    Students in grades 4 and 5 will learn facts and myths about diabetes through three interactive stations—sugar shockers, healthy plates, and exercise—presented by NHS members.
  • Tuesday, November 25, 2025
    NHS students will create and perform a puppet show for students in Falcon’s Nest, KG1, and KG2. The puppet show is an interactive way to teach our littlest learners about diabetes.
  • Wednesday, November 26, 2025
    Girls in grades 6–12, as well as elementary boys and girls, will “walk for a cure.” During lunchtimes, students will walk around a designated area to show support for a specific individual or simply for the cause. Participants will record their steps and will have the opportunity to display them on the IPS Wall for Diabetes.

We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing our school community proudly wearing blue on November 20th.

Thank you for helping us make this event meaningful for our students.
