Email from Isaac Bear Assistant Principal with details: Good afternoon, Parents and Students. I hope that this finds you well on a rather interesting day of weather. As we move along the calendar, there are a few updates to the IBEC application process to make you aware of. For those of you who received my first email, you will find the information at the bottom of this email (below the bar) a repeat. For those of you receiving this email update for the first time, please read all of the information so that you are aware of key dates and events. IBEC will begin semesterly final exams this week, in case you need to contact the school. Front office staff will be available through December 19. I’ll start with new information: Essay dates: In an effort to get to know our applicants for the 2018-2019 freshman cohort, we will be conducting an essay portion of the application. There are two session dates at IBEC from which to choose: January 11 (2:00) January 18 (2:00) Students should email me (jean.hall@nhcs.net) to reserve a spot. If schools have a large group of students wishing to sit for the essay, I will be going to those schools (Williston and Holly Shelter are on the list so far) and students need not adhere to the above dates. School tours – revised: Just a clarification that tours are reserved for current 8th-graders and their families. Our last small group morning tour (from 9:15-10:15) with openings is January 23. We are adding two afternoon tour dates: January 11 (3:00) January 18 (3:00) These tours will immediately follow the 2:00 essay sessions. Students need not sit for the essay on these days to reserve a spot for a tour. You do need to reserve a spot for any of these tour dates by calling Michelle Franz in our front office (910-350-1387).

I hope that this assists in your decision-making process. Should you have questions prior to a tour or presentation, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Our website is currently undergoing an overhaul, so it may be easier to contact me directly than fish around for answers to your questions. Thank you and have a great remainder to your weekend – Jean Hall
