IB - Dave Matthews

Welcome back to school, everyone. If your student is enrolled in

our International Baccalaureate Diploma Program then he or she will

be getting terrific learning opportunities this year. IB, however, also features

lots of rules and technicalities – so I am providing a few links to help you

navigate through the program as it works here at Mira Loma.

Here are three important documents that you can get on the school website:

Mira Loma’s IB Diploma Section of the School Website – this is the portion of Mira Loma’swebsite dedicated to the IB Diploma program. It is a work in progress, but there are lots of

good resources that you can find HERE.

The Student Calendar for the Fall Semester - IB Diploma Program important dates, 2019-2020 – deadlines HERE for the fall semester.

IB Diploma Exam Registration Packet – The most important events this semester concerngetting signed up for IB exams in May. The instructions, fees, and paperwork can all be found

HERE.

Our first big project is IB exam registration, and the first deadline for

that is August 30. Students should have updated their Managebac

accounts by that time, and any student applying for financial assistance

must turn in his or her form to the business office by 3:30 on the 30th.

If you or your student have questions please contact me

at [email protected] or call me at 916-971-7476.
