Dear
Parents,
I
would like to take this opportunity to thank the many parents who were able to
attend Back to School Night yesterday evening. The importance of attending
events such as Back to School Night is a great way for parents to play a part
in their children’s education. It not only helps to set the tone for the rest
of the school year, but it helps let children know that parents value their
education. Here’s to a great year!

A Message from ASA: We need to make use of all the tables in the Elementary School Cafeteria from 3:15. We kindly ask that parents sit in the cafeteria only after the children have left for their ASA. You may continue to come into the cafeteria to purchase a snack for yourself or your child, and then return once children have left. Thank you for your cooperation.

Big Bad Blue Swim Meet: A Message from Donna Fava, Aquatics
Director and Asst. SAISA Swim Coach
On
the afternoon of Friday, September 13
(from 4pm-6pm) and all day Saturday, September 14 (from 8am-6pm) we will be
sponsoring the Big Bad Blue Swim Meet, here, at the AISC Swimming Pool. BIG
BAD BLUE is an annual invitational swim meet that allows our SAISA Swim
Team one big competition against local swim clubs and schools before heading
off to Bombay for the SAISA swim meet on October 9-11. It is also an opportunity to mingle with
local folks from Chennai!!!
One
of the things that I LOVE about working in international schools is the fact
that they are not only schools, but also communities. It is my hope that the
community will work together to support our SAISA swimmers in many ways…To
watch, to cheer, to support and to volunteer
to help at the meet. We cannot run this
meet without community support. There
are many ways that you can help and two days to choose from.
Friday Evening:
We are running only four events for AISC Swimmers, ONLY. It gives our swimmers
a bit of practice before they swim against students who have more opportunity
for competition.
Saturday:
4-6 local teams and their families will join us on campus to cheer on all every
swimmer as they push themselves to attain personal bests in each event.

If
you can push a button when a swimmer touches the wall, you can be a TIMER!
·
If
you can read a results chart and put stickers on a ribbon, you can work to ORGANIZE AWARDS AND RIBBONS!
·
If
you have a great voice, you can be an ANNOUNCER!
·
If
you like to cook or bake, you can provide some goodies for the HOSPITALITY ROOM!
·
If
you are friendly and organized, you could work at the REGISTRATION TABLE!
Would
you please consider giving 3 hours of
your time on either Friday evening (4-6 PM) or Saturday (8-5 PM)? It would mean so much to our swimmers and
it’s a great way to get involved with our community! We will find some way to
involve you!!!
Please
email me at fdonna@aisch.org
or call me at school, extension 1310. I’d love to have you on the team!
Pictures From Our Classrooms:
Students
in Mr. Parmod’s Grade 2 are engaged in their first art project of the
year. This lesson was based on the theme of colors. Students had to determine the differences between primary and
secondary colors, gain familiarity with the vocabulary of color, identify
pairs of complementary colors and experiment with combinations of primary
and secondary colors to predict outcomes based on observed patterns.
In this picture, grade 1 teachers Ms. Nancy and Ms. Kaye are co-teaching a writing workshop minilesson on brainstorming writing ideas. They began the lesson by modeling how they brainstorm and then led the students through a guided practice activity which served as a bridge to an independent activity.
Have a great weekend,
Kevin Hall
Elementary School Principal
