To the Teacher: Thank you for agreeing to complete this recommendation. The International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program is a rigorous, writing-intensive program that challenges students at high levels.

We do realize, however, that we are assessing pre-adolescents who have not met their full potential. With this in mind, please complete the following evaluation. Additional comments will help us accurately assess the student. All comments will be held in strictest confidence.

Please return this recommendation to me at Vista Verde Middle School. You may mail it to Elaine Jacobs, 2826 E. Grovers, Phoenix, Arizona 85032, Attn: Teacher Recommendations, or you may FAX your recommendation to the school at 602-449-5305
