Dear Parents,
Welcome back and Happy New Year! I do hope that you had a wonderful winter vacation. This is the time of year when we welcome new families to AISC. This month, we expect 34 new students to enroll which will bring the total number of students in the elementary school to 515.
I am writing to you from Bangkok where I am attending two recruitment fairs. This year, we have very few positions to fill, just two in fact. I am recruiting a lower elementary homeroom teacher and a French teacher.
Thank you to the many families who participated in our PTA Giving Tree and Elementary School Council Toy Drive. Below are some pictures of some very happy children.
