ISG Superintendent's Message

REFLECTING ON THE ISG VISION THIS GRADUATION SEASON

Graduation season is a celebration of achievement as well as it is the culmination of years spent by our students living the values that define who we are as a learning community.

The ISG Vision is:

“ISG’s world class education empowers our diverse youth to excel academically, lead and learn, exercise compassion and kindness, and nourish their intellectual curiosity as they strive for a future of success, innovation and personal fulfillment.”

Graduation is a powerful reflection of ISG’s vision in action, a moment when our mission becomes visible through our students. As our graduates cross the stage, we see young people who have truly been empowered to lead and learn, to excel academically and to approach the world with both confidence and compassion.

These students have demonstrated academic excellence and kindness, curiosity and resilience that are central to our vision. Each graduate’s journey is a testament to the strength of a world-class education rooted in purpose and global-mindedness.

Throughout their time at ISG, students live our vision daily. They engage deeply in learning, embracing leadership opportunities and nurturing connections with their peers, teachers and community.

They leave us not only prepared for academic and professional success, but with the tools to serve and shape a fulfilling future. They embody the characteristics of our graduate profile: leaders, collaborators, individuals of integrity and open-mindedness, mirroring the aspirations embedded in our vision.

ISG PARENT EMAIL ADDRESS UPDATE

We appreciate the feedback we have received this year from our community about some of the challenges of using ISG Google parent email accounts and the potential inefficiencies of having multiple email accounts to monitor.  We are taking efforts to streamline and minimize these challenges in accessing ISG generated information within our communication platform management system through phasing out the use of ISG Google parent email accounts.

To support this transition, we kindly request that all families update their preferred email address using this form no later than June 1. This updated email address will be crucial as we will use it to populate your contact information across our other essential school platforms, including Skyward, SchoolsBuddy, etc.

Please also be advised that ISG parents' Google accounts will be fully deactivated on July 31.

We understand that this may require an adjustment on your part, and we thank you for your patience as we make these changes. We also appreciate your prompt attention to updating your email address to ensure your family stays updated from ISG. This step will help us ensure a smooth transition and maintain effective communication with all our families.
