Dear Community Members,
Family Withdrawal Notification
Sadly, the end of the school year is a time when we say, “so-long” to many of our friends. If you are not returning to AISC for the next academic year, fill out the withdrawal notification form and submit to the Principal's Office / or pick up one at the office, to get the withdrawal process started.

May 16- Virtual Learning Day (VLD)
As Mr. Hoover communicated last week in his Head’s Notes, May 16 will be a VLD in observance of the upcoming election. As with other VLDs, I will send the parent community an email at 8:30 to announce the start of the school day. Students are to check Edmodo to see their assignments. At 3:30, I will send a second email to announce the close of the day.

The end of the school year is fast approaching and sadly, some of our friends are moving on. Moving can be an emotional time for families, and as parents, we worry about our children. I encourage parents who are leaving Chennai at the end of this school year to come to our parent coffee on Tuesday, May 10. Our counselors will be leading a discussion about transitions and how to talk to and prepare your children for the upcoming move. We will meet at 8:45 in the ES Cafeteria.

Update from Taj Madras Flight Kitchen
The heat is on! Taj Madras Flight Kitchen is now serving fresh Mango with Vanilla Ice Cream (rs.110). The sales of kebabs are high and people are enjoying those as a recent addition to the iHub offerings. We are considering new varieties of salads and sandwiches to be served in the iHub and ES Cafeteria. Starting May 2nd, please help us gather ideas for new salads and sandwiches by dropping your favorite recipes in the box provided on top of the counter in the iHub. We will collect those through May 16. Thanks for your help here.
Food services at AISC are always looking for ways to improve. Should you have questions, suggestions or concerns, please contact Catering Manager (antony.rex@tajhotels.com), Elementary Associate Principal Lori Newman (nlori@aisch.org) or Secondary Associate Principal Jason Hicks (hjason@aisch.org). If you have not had the chance to have a meal in the iHub or Main Cafeteria, please join us. We would love to hear your feedback about the food at AISC.
Have a great weekend. Remember, Monday is a holiday.
