Dear Parents,

Grade 3-5 Swim Gala
Today we had the Upper Elementary Swim Gala. Students from Grade 3, 4 and 5 all demonstrated the wonderful swimming skills they have learned this year and we thank all the parents who came along to support this. Also big thank you to Coach Gio, Velin and Lawrence as well as our PE teachers Mr Jack and Ms Sobha who helped our children reach their swimming goals.

 
Elementary Report Cards
Next Wednesday our final semester report cards will be sent home via your child’s backpack, and on Friday Grade 2-5 MAP test results will be emailed home. Please take time to read these together with your children, and reflect on the wonderful successes they have had this year, as well as the growth each and every one of them have made.

Yearbooks
The AISC yearbooks will be distributed to students from next Wednesday via the children’s class teachers. All currently enrolled students will receive one.

Reminiscing on School Year 2018-19
As our school year starts to come to a close, we on the Elementary Leadership Team begin to wax reflective about the wonderful year of learning and growth that we have all experienced. We appreciate our teachers’ hard work, our parents’ openness and collaboration, and our students’ bright sparks and enthusiasm for learning, sometimes through productive struggle. For the last few blogs of the year, we’ll share a few highlights from the #aiscelementary Twitter feed. Here’s to a wonderful end to a wonderful year.  Thank you for being a part of our #aiscelementary community.
