Dear Parents,
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating this weekend - even it if it not your own cultural tradition, I am sure we can all appreciate all we have and be thankful for this. Enjoy the extended three day weekend and we will see you all back here next Monday.

BFG Movie
Thank you to Jet and the CIC team as well as the PCA for hosting the BFG Movie Screening on Monday - a group of our ES students loved watching the movie and sharing popcorn together.

Late Passes
Children arriving at school after 8:34am in the morning receive a late pass. To avoid disrupting their learning further, these passes will now be issued in the ES Reception, immediately after you pass through the gate. These passes are handed over to the teacher, and this avoids a child being marked absent for the day.

Report Card Technical Glitch - From the IT office
First trimester reports will not be available for viewing until further notice. Due to a technical change in PowerSchool, it is now causing errors within the reporting process.

The PowerSchool office is based out of the United States. Unfortunately, we cannot rectify the situation today due to the Thanksgiving Holiday in the US and everyone is out of the office for this long holiday weekend. They will be back in the office on Monday morning in the US, our Monday evening, which will be the earliest we will be able to work with PowerSchool on this matter.
Once this has been rectified, we will make the reports available to you immediately. We apologise for the inconvenience and we hope to get his resolved by mid-week of next week.
Hour of Code
We live in a world surrounded by technology, and we know that whatever field our students choose to go into as adults, their ability to succeed will increasingly depend on understanding how technology works. Our entire school is joining in on the largest learning event in history: The Hour of Code from November 27 to December 1. To date, more than 100 million students worldwide have already participated in an Hour of Code.

Our Hour of Code is making a statement that American International School Chennai is ready to teach these foundational 21st-century skills. To continue bringing programming activities to our students, we want to make our Hour of Code event huge. This link will take you to the Hour of Code Activities that we encourage you to look at with your children. Watch this video to see the impact coding has in your life.
