Revisiting books that remind us of what it means to be an IB student...what it means to CARE, to be KIND, to take ACTION and to make this a PEACEFUL world for ALL.
On February 21st at 2:05pm, 7th and 8th graders participated in a walk-out organized by a MYP student. They paraded outside and stood in complete silence for 17 minutes.
Dear Campus International School Family,
In light of last week’s tragedy in Parkland, Florida, I want to share some information and resources with you.
In addition to our safety preparedness, our school also places a great emphasis on social emotional supports for students. Our dedicated team of teachers, social workers (https://www.beechbrook.org/), and school psychologist are here to support our students who may be experiencing social emotional health issues.
In PYP, we create safe spaces to learn through our school wide practice of Morning Meetings using the Responsive Teaching Model. The four parts of this model are:
In MYP, students have discussed Current Events through CNN News, articles, and advisory time. Students have had time to talk in classes about how these events have impacted them and to share their feelings. Staff members have been supportive while using this time as teachable moments on how to peacefully protest and work together for positive change.
Below you will find a number of resources and professional advice for talking with your children about violence and tragedy.

In PYP, we create safe spaces to learn through our school wide practice of Morning Meetings using the Responsive Teaching Model. The four parts of this model are:
- Greeting: Students and teachers greet and welcome each other.
- Sharing: Students share something about themselves or their lives, and the rest of their peers listen, then ask follow-up questions or offer comments.
- Activity: The group completes an activity that encourages teamwork while re-emphasizing social or academic skills.
- Morning message: Students read a short message from their teacher, usually describing what is to come in the day ahead.
