Dear Parents,
We have Growth Conferences this upcoming week. If you have not yet scheduled a meeting time with your child’s teacher, please make sure to do that before next week. There will be no school (no live sessions and no independent work) for Elementary students on April 1st due to the growth conferences.
Important Dates
Polling Day - Tuesday, April 6th – No School
Tuesday, April 6th has been declared a Polling Day for elections in Tamil Nadu. AISC will be closed virtually and on-campus for all classes, activities and meetings.
Live Specialist Classes - Change to Schedule
Starting Monday, March 29th, specialists will be offering an additional live class at 11:00 a.m. There are now three specialist class options for your child to attend - 9:30 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 1:00 p.m. All of the classes will be the same content. We are hoping this will help balance out the number of students attending each session.
Growth Conferences
Reminder: If you would like to meet with a specialist teacher, please contact the specialist teacher directly via email before Tuesday, March 30th to schedule a time to meet.
Campus Tours
Campus tours are still being offered. Here is the form to sign up.
Reminder: Family Use of the AISC Libraries
AISC families are able to request books every week from our libraries using this Google form. Books can be ordered through the form from Friday until Monday at 10:00am and can be picked up curbside at the ES entrance on Wednesdays between 8:30am - 3:30pm. Bags with the child's name clearly marked on the front will be located inside the white cubbies. Patrons are invited to take the bag that belongs to them without touching any other materials.
In addition, a book drop is positioned curbside at the ES entrance, as well as the main entrance, for returned books. We encourage families to return the books after two weeks, although if a specific title is needed for a longer period, please contact Babs to implement an extension.
Library staff will practice all health and safety protocols while gathering your books. Upon return, books and the canvas bags that are distributed will be sanitized.
We encourage families to check the library catalog before requesting specific titles to ensure that they are available. Please let Babs know on bbarbara@aischennai.org know if you have any questions.
From the Counselors
“Life can be good... and hard.” Teach your child to hold onto Bravery, Gratitude, and Hope during difficult times. Together you can make a secret signal holding 3 fingers to your chest to remind each other to put Bravery, Gratitude, and Hope in your heart when you need it. Here is a printable of “Life’s Protective 3”.
