Dear Parents,
“I had tears in my eyes,” said more than one parent after our UN Day assembly on Wednesday. It was a very special assembly indeed. It is difficult to write a few sentences to describe just how powerful and colorful the assembly was. Students, you represented your country with pride and I know that your parents and teachers were proud to see you on stage. Please take a few moments to look at these fantastic pictures taken by Pradeep Lawrence on UN Day. Are you interested in a DVD of the
assembly? Please leave your name, your youngest child’s grade level and mobile
phone number with Sonia at Main Reception or Prisca at ES Reception. Ask for
the sign-up sheet and we will deliver to your child soon.
This wonderful day for our entire community was only made possible by the most incredible teamwork. Students, faculty, staff, the PTA executive, the community choir and many parent volunteers all made this day possible for several weeks leading up to Wednesday. I would like to thank everyone who worked so tirelessly and patiently to make this day so special for the community.
Halloween Celebrations: For the second time this week, students had the opportunity to dress up. Today we held our annual Halloween Parade. We saw many children dressed up as princesses, community helpers, action heroes, fictional characters, animals, and so much more. Once again, thank you, parents, for organizing costumes and for decorating classrooms.
Report Cards: The first trimester report card was sent home this afternoon with your child. If your child was absent from school today, the report card will be given to your child on Monday, November 4th. In the past, we have inserted this document into the report card envelopes. To save some paper, I have posted it electronically, and will send this link each time we send home report cards.
Coffee with the ES Administration: Please join us on Tuesday, November 12th for our third parent coffee morning of the year. Our elementary school English as an Additional Language Coordinator, Ms. Karen, and members of her team, will talk about the program and the model of instruction we use in the elementary school.
Departing Students: Each year, some of our students leave AISC in December. Records from AISC are usually required by the next school. However, it takes us some time to prepare these records. If you will be leaving the school, please contact Ms. Cheryl or Ms. Hazel in the Elementary School Principal’s Office at least two weeks prior to your departure so we can prepare the necessary documents to make your transition as smooth as possible.
