From Kelsey Day
I hope you are doing well and finding time to disconnect. As your state’s IB World Schools Manager, I am aware that this summer has probably not been the most relaxing for you. Plans for opening of schools are still being identified and there remains significant uncertainty on what the upcoming school year will entail.
As you prepare for the 20-21 SY, I wanted to “check in” and ensure that you have access to all of the most recent updates from the IB. I’ve consolidated a list of *VIP* resources on your behalf and I hope this saves you time (and generally makes your life easier). A friendly reminder that some of these hyperlinks will guide you to documents that can be found on the Programme Resource Centre (PRC), which is a password protected site - if you need access, please reach out to any of your Coordinators for assistance.
