We have had a great start to the 2010-11 school year at the International School of Latvia!

I would like to take opportunity to share a couple of important announcements:

1. It is going to happen!! On Friday, September 10^th beginning at 2:30 pm ISL will be hosting a groundbreaking ceremony for our new school building in Pinki. Parents, students and members of the greater ISL community are invited to this very special event. All ISL students will be transported to the site for this momentous occasion and once the ceremony is finished, students will be dismissed. Children who live in Jurmala will be able to ride the school bus back to ISL after our celebration and those students who live in Riga will be transported by bus to Riga. A permission slip detailing your choice for transportation for your children will be sent home on Monday, September 6^th. You can also download the permission form and a map to the building site by clicking here.

We have developed a building schedule which will hopefully allow us to finish the facility in time for the start of the 2011-12 school year. The weather may impact the timeline we have created; however, we are hopeful that we will have a mild winter which will allow us to meet our planned opening date of August 2011.

If you are unable to attend the ceremony, pictures of the event will be placed on the website, as well as photos of the entire construction process. Thanks again for your continued support and we hope to see you at 2:30pm on the 6^th.
