Dear Parents,
Thank you to all who attended our literacy mornings this week. We especially thank those who left feedback as we are always looking for ways to enhance these further. Your children enjoyed having you in class and we hope you benefited too by understanding our literacy programme further.
Next week, all Elementary students will participate in a field day organised by our PE department. Parents are encouraged and highly welcome to come along and cheer on the children as they have fun in a variety of active stations. Students should wear their class T-shirts on their field day.
Being Health Smart
We have several cases of the seasonal flu in the Elementary School, so please be sure to be extra vigilant with hand washing and monitoring your child at home. If your child shows any symptoms of the flu; fever, body aches, severe cough, cold or sore throat, please keep them at home and remember that they must be cleared by our health center before they join back to school. Any child showing these symptoms in class will be sent to the health centre for checking. The seasonal flu can be highly contagious and we want to avoid this spreading further.

School Day and Late Arrivals
A reminder as we enter semester two that the school day at AISC is from 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Students are expected to be on campus at 8:25 a.m. and class starts promptly at 8:30 a.m. We begin marking students who arrive at the gate at 8:29 a.m. as late as this means that the child will be late to their first class. Students who arrive late must go to the Elementary Reception or Elementary Office for a late pass. Security at the gate will notify the office of any late arrivals.
Please refer to pages 14 & 15 of the Elementary Handbook for more information.
