IBMA Newsletter
Back to School Edition
Welcome Back
Happy First Day of Virtual School!! I want to welcome you all to the 202-2021 school year. I know we are starting out a little differently; however, I know that IBMA will embrace it and rock it out. I want to introduce myself. I am Mrs. Chadwick, Assistant Director of Counseling and CCMR for the district. It wasn't long ago that I was the Coordinator for IBMA, so I'm excited to get to work with you all for a while. As you know, Mrs. Boston has taken a job in Pennsylvania with Penn State. While we are in the process of finding a new Coordinator, myself along with Mrs. Suarez and Mr. Lam will be working with you all. You will receive weekly updates via the newsletter and emails from me. Please reach out with any questions or concerns that you have to myself (jennifer.chadwick@fortbendisd.com) or Mrs. Suarez (belinda.suarez@fortbendisd.com)
In these newsletters you will find helpful information, updates from myself, the amazing Ms. Lewis, and your IBMA president, Kelly.
Enrichment Hours: You will find links in the newsletters to enrichment opportunities for the semester. Please remember that you will need to complete two enrichments per semester for a total of 4 for the year.
Volunteer Hours: We are currently working on what that is going to look like this semester, so please be patient with us. Once we have it all figured out we will let you know.
Welcome Back From The Amazing Ms. Lewis
Greeting IBMA! Welcome to the 2020-2021 IBMA academic school year! While things may be a bit different than we anticipated and we aren’t together physically we are still a family and team and we’re in this together. I am Ms. Lewis, your IBMA Teacher Facilitator (aka IBMA sponsor) and teacher. This year I am teaching Principles of Business, Marketing and Finance (PBMF), Global Business, Business Law and Touch Systems Data Entry (TSDE). As many of you may be, I too am anxious and excited to see what this year will bring, but no worries because we will make the journey together! Here’s to an amazing school year.
Welcome Back From your IBMA President
Hey everyone! It is Kelly here and I just wanted to say happy back to school season! I hope everybody has had a safe and enjoyable summer, despite all of the circumstances 2020 has given us so far. I know it can be hard to get back into the school routine especially with everything reimagined. However, the 2020-2021 IBMA Officer Board has a plethora of fun and new activities/networking events planned to look forward to. I am so excited to start this new school year leading, in my opinion, the best academy in the district! Let's start this year STRONG and reflect what we IBMA students stand for! :)
