Dear Parents,
Location Update
Please remember to email your child’s classroom teacher and ‘cc the ES office (esoffice@aischennai.org) if you are leaving Chennai before the end of the school year. This is for departing and returning students.
ES/MS Parent Coffee May 18th 12:00 p.m.
Please join Jessica Pechhold, the current Middle School Principal, and Gretchen Galaty, the Middle School Counselor, for information on the transition from grade 5 to grade 6.The transition will include information about the students' courses schedule for next year and orientation to the middle school program as incoming sixth graders. The meeting will be recorded and information will be shared if you are not able to make the coffee. This is not the only time you will receive information about your child's transition to the middle school. Parent coffees and back to school night next year will continue the orientation process.
Library Use
The AISC libraries have stopped providing curbside checkout service and book delivery to classrooms because of protocols put in place to safeguard library staff. The return boxes will remain at the main and Elementary School entrances, so library materials can be returned at any time. Thank you and please let Babs know if you have any questions.
From the Counselors
With the pandemic hitting India hard and many transition plans changing for the summer holiday or farewells, we think these statements are good things to tell ourselves as well as our students and children. Know that AISC counselors are here to help and support.
(From Whole School Counseling)
Have a safe weekend.
