Student Survey starting January 25th
On Tuesday, we will email all students in grades 3-5 a survey to complete by Friday, January 28th. 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.
From the Counselors
What risks do we take?
One of the most challenging things about uncertainty is making decisions when you do not have enough information. Should we travel, go to social gatherings, invite people over? Different families have different vulnerabilities, so decisions can vary widely. To keep worry and risk assessment from taking over EVERY moment, Child Mind psychologist, Dr. Anderson, suggests taking an inventory of your family’s risks and deciding whether you want to adjust your activities in the near future. Then stick by your decision and move on. You can make more adjustments when the situation changes.
We can’t see an end in sight, but we can get more comfortable living without one. The ES AISC counselors are here to help. We can talk to parents and students - just reach out. Linda Gerberich glinda@aischennai.org and Michele Ness nmichele@aischennai.org
Have a healthy and relaxing weekend.

Lynn Schneider and Dave Allen
