Dear Parents,
It was wonderful to see so many of our new families last Monday afternoon at the new parent coffee. This semester we welcomed 50 new or returning students to the Elementary School.
Please note: We have a slightly different schedule for students this coming week as teachers are using one day to work on campus preparing their classroom. Please see the details below.
Important Dates
Asynchronous Student Days - Classroom Preparation Days for Teachers
Teachers will be working on campus on February 3rd and 5th to organize their classroom and pack up student work from last year.
Teachers in EY-Grade 2 will be on campus on Wednesday, February 3rd and teachers in Grades 3-5 will be on campus on Friday, February 5th. When the grade level teachers are on campus, those grade level students will have asynchronous homeroom work only (meaning only independent work from their homeroom teacher). There will be no morning meeting, small groups, or 1:1s (1:1s will be rescheduled).
Specialist teachers WILL hold live classes on these two days. Your child(ren) can join their specialist teacher on as usual.
Jan Jamboree
Jan Jamboree is happening tomorrow January 31st from 1pm - 3:30 p.m.! Thank you to everyone who signed up - kindly check your emails for your activity list. Here is the schedule with all the Zoom links required.
Please contact ceshane21@aischennai.org if you have any questions.
See you there! :D

Student Survey Reminder
Last Wednesday, we emailed all students in grades 3-5 a survey. The purpose of the survey is to gather feedback to help your child’s homeroom teacher become more effective in the classroom. Your child will reflect on their current homeroom class. Honest, thoughtful, and careful feedback on all questions is important to us. If your child has not completed the survey, he/she can complete it by Monday, February 1st.
From the Counselors
Looking for some fun screen free activities for your children? Here are some ideas. Download the posters, print them out, and tape them to a bedroom door. Whenever your child says they are bored, send them off to tear off an activity. No printer - no problem. Look through the posters yourself for some ideas to give to your child.
Regards,
Lynn Schneider, Dave Allen, and Elliot Fijman
