MYP:
Sophomores submitted the final step of the Personal Project, the final paper! This culmination of a yearlong process will be graded internally by their mentor and then scores will be sent to the IB for moderation. In the fall, students will receive certificates with their official scores; certificates can be used to apply to selective summer programs, internships and more, to demonstrate their skills as a student.

Sophomores, if you did not submit your final paper for some extenuating reason, reach out to Ms. Dryjanski and your mentor ASAP!

DP/CP:
The DP Visual Arts Exhibition was a great success! Thank you to the Humboldt Park Field House for hosting the display of student’s artwork and curatorial rationales from their work over the past two years. Mr. Winn’s class worked hard to curate the Exhibition and we so appreciate all the friends and families who came to support the artists.
Senior students in DP Language and Literature, Visual Arts, and/or Theory of Knowledge have had their first major deadline milestone this week for completion of the Higher Level Essay; Comparative Study and Process Portfolio; and Extended Essay, respectively. Congratulations to the seniors on this milestone!
