Dear Parents,
This morning we had a PCA Appreciation Brunch to celebrate all the work our PCA do for our school.
We would like to extend our appreciation to our wonderful Elementary PCA Reps who have provided valuable input and feedback into many of our ES initiatives this year, such as our new Home Learning policy as well as our plans for the new Early Years classrooms and outdoor learning spaces.
We thank Sharon Bonnar, Srini Seetharahm, Liza Baumgartner, Kala Kuma and Julie Jacob for being this years’ ES PCA Reps and for all they have done for our Elementary School. Thank you!

Counselors will talk about many useful strategies leaving families can use to ensure children’s transition out of AISC and Chennai is well planned and managed.

Screening of the documentary “Screenagers”
On Tuesday the 16th of May from 3:45pm to 5:30pm we will be hosting a screening and brief discussion on the documentary film Screenagers. The film explores how screen time impacts kids’ development and offers solutions on how adults can empower kids to best navigate the digital world and find balance. Parents who have seen the film have said they now feel more confident and better equipped to establish balance around screen time.
We are inviting parents and their children (recommended age 10 and up) to attend this event which we are providing for free in the FAC Theater. The film will be viewed with Korean subtitles.

Sorry, there won't be any Thin Mints or Caramel DeLites, but there will be opportunities for your daughter to experience what it means to be a Girl Scout.
Sorry, there won't be any Thin Mints or Caramel DeLites, but there will be opportunities for your daughter to experience what it means to be a Girl Scout.
We are looking for girls entering grades 1-3 in the fall to form a Daisy/Brownie Troop. Our troop is affiliated with Girl Scouts Overseas and girls will register and be a part of this organization, which is recognized all across the world.
For girls in grades 4 and 5, we will need a leader to coordinate with the Daisy/Brownie leader. The Junior troop will be a part of the larger Troop 18702, but the activities will be separate. Please come to the information session if you might be interested in leading the Junior Troop.
It is important that we have a firm number of committed girls this spring, so that uniforms and materials can be ordered over the summer. Come be a part of this organization that has been changing girls' lives for over 100 years.
If your daughter is interested, please come to a brief information session on Thursday, May 11 at 8:45 in the Elementary Cafeteria. We will also be looking for a co-leader to help guide the troop.
For Grade 5 parents - Moving to Middle School, Tuesday, May 16th
As the move to Middle School gets nearer, we have two transition activities scheduled in May that we want to let you know about. On Thursday May 18th, grade 5 students will attend a presentation with Mr. Phan, the MS Principal, and Ms. Gold, the MS Counselor, that will orient them to Middle School. Following that, our MS Student Ambassadors will take the grade 5 students to visit grade 6 classrooms where they will participate in an activity to learn even more about Middle School and then take a tour of select MS locations.
In addition to helping our students understand more about Middle School, Mr. Phan and Ms. Gold will be hosting a Parent Coffee on Tuesday, May 16th at 8:45 in the Hall of Light so that we can introduce ourselves and explain the middle school experience to parents as well. We will also discuss some changes that you might encounter along the way with your child. We hope to see you there!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
