From the Counselors, re applying to CTY Summer Programs:

Any MS parent interested in having their MS son or daughter attend the CTY (Center for Talented Youth) Summer Program through Johns Hopkins University in the US, you need to be starting the application process soon! 
CTY requires a 95% or higher score on last year's IOWA test, in major Math, Verbal/Reading, or Composite areas, to apply to the program.  Application can be done online at http://cty.jhu.edu via the International Talent Search section. 
Once you've completed the application (it has a $50. USD fee), you will then need a confirmation email or invitation letter from CTY, to get registration materials from the MS Counselors for the SAT test given in January (for Gr.7 & 8 students), or for the SCAT (for Gr.6 students).  The SAT is given at SAS Puxi HS, and the registration deadline is Dec.3!  The SCAT is given elsewhere in Shanghai.
Please refer to the MS Counselors blog (connected to the SAS portal) for more information, or contact the MS Counselors, Leslie Peake (Red) or Allen Wolf (Gold).

From the Counselors, re Applications to Boarding Schools for next year:
Any parents whose MS children will be applying for private Boarding Schools for next year, please refer to the MS Counseling blog (connected to the SAS portal) about the required steps to go through in that process, and contact Leslie Peake (Red) or Allen Wolf (Gold). 
The first step is that you and your son or daughter will need to meet with their MS Counselor-- and soon, if you've not already done so! 
Be aware that all recommendation forms for teachers, counselors etc, must be given out through the MS Counselors-- with a full two weeks time for those to be completed and turned in for mailing.  Since many Boarding School application deadlines are Jan 15, processes need to be started with your MS Counselors in the next couple weeks, before the end of November! 
Also, many Boarding Schools require the SSAT test, so you will probably need to register for that test, which is given in Jan through the SAS Admissions Department.  The registration deadline is Dec 19.
Applying to Boarding Schools is a lot of work --for you and your children, as well as their counselor and teachers!-- and it requires quite a lot of family thought and organization!  So get started now, if you are serious about actually applying to and attending Boarding Schools for next year.

Students
--ASMA math competition results

Last Friday's math competition saw 39 students take the November ASMA math competition. Once again there were some excellent results  with 3 students scoring a perfect 7 of 7 answers. Congratulations to grade 8 students Helen Yang, Alex Bi and Ji Hun Yang. Alex now has a total score of 14 of a possible 14, with a number of students on a score of 13- Helen Yang, Fabien Ma, Catherine Mao and Alex Pan. Special mention to two sixth grade students who took part in this competition and scored five which is no easy feat; Jimmy Kwon and Lisa Liu. Great job to all who participated, I look forward to seeing you at the next competition on Friday, December 12.

CISSA

Our Dulwich soccer selection teams practice tomorrow until 5:00. Their bus departs Saturday at 7:00 for the tournament which begins at 9:00 for all four teams from SAS.

Our CISSA girls' and boys' CISSA soccer teams all performed fabulously this past Saturday in their season-ending tournaments. The girls won 13, tied five, and lost only four times at SAS Pudong. The boys' teams were nearly invincible at SAS Puxi as they played 30 games, won 27 of them, tied two, and lost only one by a 1-0 score! In my seven years here I have never seen any CISSA school achieve such success at any CISSA tournament for any sport. Hats off to our tremendous coaches and players who were shining as brightly as the sun on Saturday!

All CISSA uniforms must be returned to Mr. Wegener or to your soccer coach. Failure to do so will prevent you from playing future CISSA sports this year and/or paying 100 RMB for a lost uniform.
