For those of you who missed the Summer Institute....

Class of 2010: you can go to School #8 and the forms are on the counter - grab one of the study skills packets and one on the new CAS guidelines. I'll be meeting with you after the annual class meeting to go over some important information.

Class of 2009: I'm still working on a date to meet with those of you who couldn't make it to UB. It should be sometime in mid-August. There are extended essay packets and study skills packets for you to pick up at School #8 as well. They are on the counter. Please remember that your FINAL rough draft is due the first week of school. It would greatly benefit those of you who didn't make the program to talk to someone who went to find out what we did.

City Honors International Baccalaureate Facebook Page

I will be using the Facebook page I created to send out important messages, via Facebook, to all current IB students. If you want to be able to receive a message (instead of checking the blog on your own), then join the group.

Last minute info for c/o 2009 Summer Institute

1. I have parking passes for the three days. I will be in the Fronczak Lot by 8:45 am with them and will wait until 8:55 am.

Each morning we will meet promptly at 9 a.m. in Capen 201. It is upstairs in the Undergraduate Library. We are pursuing the possibility of guest parking tags for you and will post if we are successful.

Otherwise, the parking information for UB is as follows:

Parking for visitors is limited to certain lots and metered areas on each campus. Visitors to the North Campus can park in the Center for Tomorrow Lot off Flint Road, without a charge and utilize our shuttle service. Additionally, on the North Campus, Visitor Paid Parking is available in the Fronczak Lot. There is an entry charge of $4.00 ($2.00 after 1:00pm). Here is a link to the UB North Campus Map. Capen Hall is number 25 and visitor parking is not far from there.

Remember to bring in a letter if you can't make the IB Summer Institute

IBers in the Class of 2009 and 2010 are required to bring in a note explaining why they cannot attend the summer institute/seminar. The note should also included contact information for the summer so that I (Mrs. Banas) can contact you during the summer.
