Dear Parents,

🤩 That’s a wrap!

It is hard to believe the 2025–26 school year has officially come to a close. As a new member of this wonderful community, it has been an absolute pleasure getting to know your children and sharing in their triumphs, growth, and milestones throughout the year.

📸 A year of learning and memories

We are walking away with so many incredible memories—from our classroom learning celebrations and assemblies to exciting field trips, the Chinthe Expedition, and our Compassion in Action projects. Beyond the big events, there has been so much daily joy in simply learning and growing together as a community.

Looking back through the yearbook Families are invited to explore the 2025–26 Online Yearbook and revisit the celebrations, achievements, and experiences that shaped the school year. You can also browse our digital Yearbook archive, featuring editions from the 1970s to the present. Use the password YB2020 if prompted. We hope you enjoy looking back on another memorable year at ISY.

🎉 Celebrating Our Students and Community

Today, we closed the year with an elementary assembly to honour and say goodbye to our departing students and faculty members, as well as to celebrate our Grade 5 students as they "step up" into Middle School.I am sure you will join me in sending a heartfelt thank you to all of our teachers, TAs, office staff, maintenance, and cleaning teams who keep our community running so beautifully.

☀️ Happy Summer

School will resume on Tuesday, August 11, at 8:00 AM, and I am already looking forward to my second year at ISY and welcoming your children back for the 2026–27 school year. 

Wishing you all a safe and happy summer filled with wonderful family memories. 

All the best,

Mr. Geoff Heney 

Elementary School Principal
