Dear Parents,

Welcome back to the second half of our school year, and Happy New Year to each and everyone one of you! Children have been amazing this week, even those who were still experiencing some jet lag! I hope you all had a wonderful break, and were able to visit places and people dear to you.

I spent the break in Australia with both my family, who travelled from New Zealand, and James’ family. We had a lovely time exploring beaches in New South Wales and Victoria.

An enormous thank you to Emily Sahu (EY5) and Ashley Sahu (G3) who sent us a postcard from Toronto, Canada, and to Arthur Gautier (EY3) who sent his from France! We loved receiving your mail and learning what you were up to in your vacation.

A reminder that supervision in the morning begins at 8am. We are noticing several students are arriving at school early, and we encourage you to remember that there is no supervision before 8am and children are not allowed to be on the playgrounds before then.

Field Days are coming soon 
There will be three separate Field Days this year:
  • ·       Grade 2 and Grade 3 Field Day: Wednesday, January 31st, 10:15-12:15
  • ·       Grade 4 and Grade 5 Field Day: Thursday, February 1st, 10:30-12:30 
  • ·       EY3, EY4, EY5, and Grade 1 Field Day: Friday, February 2nd, 10:15-11:45

During their Field Day students will be participating in a variety of games, art activities, and water activities. We ask that the students come to school with swimming attire and a change of clothes on their Field Day. 

If you would be interested in attending Field Day, either as a volunteer or to accompany your child, you can email your child’s teacher or Jack Bissonnette at bjack@aischennai.org.

Pick up after ASA
Parents are requested to pick up their children at 4.45 pm sharp after ASA each day from the designated meeting points. Many coaches/activity leaders have noticed children are not being collected on time after the activity has completed.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Warmly,

Keryn Dowling & Lori Newman
