EE and PP students – Reference reminders!

  1. Make sure every reference in your reference list is matched somewhere in your paper, either in sentence form or in-text citation. If it’s not in your paper, it shouldn’t be on your Reference List.
  2. The IB requires that you add the access date for all online references…you will need to do this manually! Here is an example:

Bratton, K. (2018, January 3). Where have all the flowers gone? Bayside High News, p. 4. Retrieved on August 23, 2018, from

Stop by the library with questions or see you Thursdays at our EE/PP Support Sessions!

Dear MSUS Teachers,

As we approach the exams, and a very busy time of year, please be mindful of our students’ workloads and stress levels. Tonight is the production with lots of middle and upper school students involved. They may need some flexibility with deadlines. Next week is the pre-exam week where we traditionally refrain from assigning anything that is not directly linked with the upcoming exams.

Thanks for your support for our students.
