How can we improve?

Q&A
(1) Have we missed any feature requests?
(2) Should we visit you? Were delighted to attend your
regional association meetings this fall, and to
organize complimentary PD training.
(3) We need your help! To ensure the IB Student Registry
is successful, please talk to your guidance counselor
in late August about updating your IB world school
profile on the Student Registry.
