JANUARY APPLICATION UPDATES 1月申请事宜更新

Dear Parent 尊敬的家长们, 


I am pleased to say that most of our seniors have applied to University, and I am sure that they have started to feel less stressed and more focused on their coursework. As we are moving through the month and into February, here are some things to keep in mind: 

        我们大部分十二年级同学都已经递交了申请，这是值得高兴的事情，他们得以减轻一部分压力，更专注于课业学习。新年已至，杏月将临，在接下来的申请进程中，以下事项需要我们知悉于心：


  • January 15th is another more significant application deadline for the US. I will be sending the documents required for this during the week leading up to the 15th.

1月15日，为美国申请的另一个关键投递截点。我会在下周（10号始）把所有要求的文件和资料发送给院校方。

  • Students need to check their emails for application portals and application results regularly.
    学生需要时时、定期地检查他们的邮件、院校申请平台，跟踪申请进程和申请结果。

  • If students receive university emails stating they are missing any work, they need to read through carefully. They are more than welcome to ask me or Ms. Shanshan (for the UK only) if they have any questions about what the University wants. 

如果学生收到院校的邮件，称他们收到的资料有缺失，学生要仔细地阅读邮件的所有内容。有任何关于院校要求文书的疑问，我们希望学生可以积极地与我和Shanshan老师（英国方向）沟通。

  • Students may begin to receive emails asking for midyear transcripts. I will send those to the universities that require them the week of February 21st. Universities understand that schools have different calendars and need time to process the transcripts. If a school reaches out, the student can inform them when the official documents will be sent out. 

学生可能会逐渐开始收到院校邮件，要求发送中期成绩单。2月21日开始的那一周，我会向有所要求的院校发送中期成绩单。不同中学有不同的课程时间进展，并需要一定的时间生成成绩单，大学院校对此都了解和理解。如果大学院校发送了中期成绩单要求，学生可以告知对方我校官方成绩单提交的时间。

  • Students will receive an unofficial copy of those transcripts. They can use that transcript for schools that ask students to self-report their grades. 

学生会收到成绩单的非官方版本。如果院校要求学生自己填成绩，他们可以用这份文件上报。

  • If students receive admissions results, they need to report them to me, regardless of their answer. 

如学生有收到录取结果，无论是录取还是拒信，都要告知我。

  • If students received a scholarship, I kindly ask that they report that as well to track how much was received and which schools are offering scholarships. 

如学生有收到奖学金，我希望他们也报告给我，这样我们能更好地汇总提供奖学金的院校和毕业生申请数据。


Please let me know if you have any questions.

有任何问题欢迎与我探讨。



Sincerely,

G11 PARENTS AND STUDENTS: PASSPORT RENEWAL 护照更新

Dear XXX and Parent,

亲爱的XXX及家长，


As you are starting to prepare for applications, it is important to have official legal documents up to date. Most Countries/locations issuing visas require at least 6 months of validity upon the date of application. For students interested in the UK, they need at least 1 year of validity. Our files indicate that your passport has or will expire on month, day, year.

由于我们已经进入大学申请准备阶段，我们需要保证在该阶段内，所有的相关证件文件都在有效期内。大多数国家/地区在签发签证时，需要保证护照至少还有6个月的有效期。有意向申请英国院校的学生，护照有效期不得少于1年。我们在档的学生档案显示，你的护照已经或即将于xx年xx月xx日（YY/MM/DD）过期。


In order for students to be successful, please check your passports. If your passport has expired or will expire before July of 2024, please consider updating your passport. If your passport has been recently updated, please email admission@i-s-d.orgwith a copy of your passport so that we can update our files.

为保证学生的大学申请过程顺利，请检查你的护照有效期。如你的护照已经过期、或将在2024年7月前过期，请着手准备更新护照。如学生已经更换了新的护照，请将新护照的扫描件或清晰照片发送给admission@i-s-d.org，以便我们在学生档案更新信息。

INTRODUCTION TO STEM COMPETITIONS

Dear Parents


ISD is now giving the opportunity to Secondary students with numerous infl­uential and professional world-renowned competitions of different subjects from the US, UK, Canada, Australia and the others, it is the aims to enrich the STEM learning for students across different grades by offering them the access to the most advanced scientific education resources.


今年ISD 有幸提给中学部学生提供来自美国、英国、加拿大、澳大利亚和其他地区的不同学科的众多有影响力和专业的世界知名比赛给在校生，目的是为了提供给中学部不同年级的学生丰富 STEM 学习 获得最先进的科学教育资源。


STEM for what？

STEM是什么？


The concept of STEM education appeared in the United States as early as the 1990s. It is hoped that through STEM education, it can cultivate scientific and technological talents, improve the scientific literacy of the people, and maintain the leading edge of technology and economy in the world. STEM education is the abbreviation of the four categories of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. STEM is different from traditional subjects. It focuses on interdisciplinary knowledge, and especially focuses on training students' logical thinking, problem-solving skills, application of innovative skills, collaboration skills, creativity and other abilities, so that students can cope with the rapid development of the future society and the world. Changes and challenges brought about by economic, scientific and technological development.


STEM教育的理念早于二十世纪九十年代于美国出现，希望借着STEM教育培育科技人才，提升国民的科学素养，并维持科技及经济在全球领先的优势。 STEM教育即是科学（science）、科技（technology）、工程（engineering）及数学（mathematics）四个范畴的缩写。 STEM有别于传统的科目，重于跨学科知识外、特别着重培训学生的逻辑思维、解难能力、创新技能的应用、协作能力、创意力等能力，令学生能应对未来社会及全球因急速的经济、科学及科技发展所带来的转变和挑战。


As the application number is increasing every year, however there is only limited positions that each university can provide, therefore the student with outstanding academic achievement is the mandatory requirement, to make the student stands out from thousands of applications, students who have high STEM competition outcomes will give them a better chance to show their abilities and also help students stand out from the crowd of applicants.


面对海外大学申请人数倍增，名校录取名额有限的情况，紧靠过硬的标化成绩就能申得名校的时代已经过去了，标化成绩已不是唯一。所以，够硬核的课外学术活动才是最关键。而具有高含金量的国际竞赛活动和研究项目在很大程度上可以帮助同学们从一众申请者中脱颖而出。

​

 To make you understand STEM competition more, I would like to invite you to come to our STEM parent introduction conference;

为了使您更加了解STEM竞赛，我诚恳的邀请您来参加我们的STEM竞赛介绍家长会；
