Because of the need for campus security, ISM is a closed campus for all students. Students having to leave school during the day for reasons of illness, doctors’ appointments or other emergencies need to bring a note from a parent to the office prior to the time of pick up and must be picked up by parents or their representatives. A student who has left campus may not return unless engaged in a legitimate after-school activity. Parents should note that ISM is not responsible for students once they have left the school grounds. When students will be picked up by anyone other than their parents, the school needs a written note with that person’s name and cédula or passport number, and the days or time period in which he/she should be permitted to pick up the student.  Students will not be allowed to leave school premises in the company of anyone but their parents without written notice from parents.
