Friday, May 13, 2016

Dear Community Members,

As has been communicated in previous Principal's Notes, Monday, May 16th will be a virtual learning day (VLD).  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. The expectation is that all assignments will be completed. At 3:30, I will send a second email to announce the close of the day.

End of Year: Returning CIC Books

The ES/MS CIC has enjoyed working with our students and parents again this year! Thank you! We will begin our year-end inventory shortly. Please note that the last day for student and parent check-out is tomorrow, Saturday, May 14. 

All books checked out this year must be returned by Monday, May 16. We do realize that sometimes get lost or damaged. Please note that these must be paid for before yearbooks or report cards are issued. 

Special Note: eBooks!

While all of our print resources soon need to be in, we would like to take advantage of this opportunity to promote our 10,000+ eBooks! If you would like to learn more about using the eBooks, please contact the Elementary CIC.

Lost and Found

If you have lost any valuables  (watches, phones, wallets, jewelery) in the past few months, you can check again with Ms. Sonia at the Main Reception as she has some unclaimed items with her.

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.

Orphan Bike Project

Our Middle School students are involved in the second yearly edition of the Orphan Bicycle Project with the  “Children’s Home India” Orphanage. Please click here if you would like to see a quick video of last year’s first edition. This year, AISC students along with the local children will have spent three Saturdays refurbishing bicycles together. The culminating event of the entire project is the bike-a-thon, a fundraiser, that is scheduled for May 21st at AISC Campus from 8.30 am to 10.30 am. The proceedings will go towards the education of the local students. Parents have the opportunity to sponsor the event either through a flat (set amount) or per-lap donation. We estimate that no more than 250 laps will be done during the event. In-between May 11th and May 20th from 8.00 am to 8.30am and from 3.45 pm to 4.15 pm (school days only) we will be available to answer any of your questions at the main campus entrances (ES and MS/HS). Come talk to us! Also, we would like to have a few parent volunteers for running the event on May 21st. If you are interested in helping out, please sign-up here. 

Thank you and we are looking forward to seeing you!

Have a great weekend,

Kevin Hall
Elementary School Principal
