Notice from IBO: May 2020 Exams and Covid-19
23 March 2020
To our IB Students and Families,
The International Baccalaureate Organization has announced that the May examinations for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme and Career-related Programme will not be held this year due to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic.
As an organization, it is critical for the IB to ensure that the options it provides its global community of IB World Schools are based on compassion and fairness for the difficult circumstances that its students and educators are experiencing. As a result, based on considerable advice from stakeholders across the globe, including schools, students, universities and official bodies, the IB has determined what it believes to be the most responsible and ethical way forward.
The May 2020 examinations as scheduled between 30 April and 22 May for Diploma Programme and Career-related Programme candidates will no longer be held.
Depending on what they registered for, the student will be awarded a Diploma or a Course Certificate which reflects their standard of work. This is based on student’s coursework and the established assessment expertise, rigor and quality control already built into the programmes.
We know parents and students will have many questions. The IB will share full details and FAQs with us and on their website by 27 March 2020.
For any other questions, please contact Priscilla Biddle at plbiddle@henrico.k12.va.us.
Thank you and stay well.
Tour Canceled
Due to the school closure, HHS IB will not be holding its annual tour. If you feel like you really need face-to-face, I will entertain drop-in’s from 10-3 on Monday, March 16. Here is the powerpoint I would have shared with you: What is an IB Education_Tour
Please return your acceptance forms (Acceptance Agreement, Course Request, and Transportation Request) by either scanning and sending them to me, plbiddle@henrico.k12.va.us or by sending them to me via the USPO, Priscilla Biddle, 302 Azalea Avenue, Henrico VA 23227.
Congratulations HHS Mock Trial Team!
Congratulations! The HEF Programs Committee has approved the grant–Henrico Mock Trial/Empire New York Competition–in the amount of $13,850. Your grant was the highest rated application in Cycle 1. The board members were impressed with the high quality of the proposal and its potential to impact students. We believe that academic competitions like this prepare students for college and beyond with high caliber life skills.
This is a significant investment in 11 Henrico HS IB students; because of this, HEF is asking that school leaders support this effort within the Henrico HS community and actively pursue opportunities for these students to share their experiences with other HCPS high school students.
