Early Years 4 Parent Coffee Tuesday, May 10th

If you are an EY4 parent and joining our KG next year, please join Dave Allen to learn about our KG program. If you are attending the coffee, please enter through the ES gate after drop off. We will meet as a group in the ES courtyard at 8:35 and walk to the SHED, one of our meeting rooms. 

Outdoor Mask-Wearing Optional 

We are continuing to watch the COVID-19 cases in Chennai and among the AISC community. Things are still very stable across the board. We are keenly aware of the heat and humidity. We know that COVID-19 is very difficult to transmit with ample fresh air. In attempting to balance all aspects of student and staff health-safety, mask-wearing is optional while outdoors starting on Monday. For the time being, mask-wearing will remain compulsory while in the entry/exit area of campus, and at all times while indoors. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Roots and Shoots ASA - Collection for Animals

The ASA Roots & Shoots group visited Blue Cross Animal Hospital and Sanctuary last Saturday. Roots and Shoots is collecting things to help the animals at the Blue Cross. They are in need of things like towels, newspapers, old tshirts for cleaning animals, and other used clothes for cleaning animals.  Also they need paint brushes to paint water bowls. There are collection boxes set up at the Elementary Gate and outside one grade level classroom. If you have any questions, please contact Linda (glinda@aischennai.org) or Leontheen (bleontheen@aischennai.org).

 

Enjoy the weekend.
