Dear Parents,
It was so wonderful to have all of our students back on campus this week. We saw students smiling ear to ear.
Important Dates:
COVID Testing
Starting Monday, February 21st, we will do home testing on Monday mornings ONLY. Bring negative test cartridges to school on Mondays. Continue to fill out the ParentLocker app each morning.
Cafeteria Use for KG-Grade 5
Starting Monday, February 21st, students in grades KG-Grade 5 will eat in the cafeteria. Students in KG-Grade 3
will eat in the Elementary School cafeteria and students in grades 4 and 5 will eat in the FAC (Fine Arts Center) cafeteria. We have enough space in those two cafeterias to have students sit distanced from each other. Windows will be open and the AC will be on. Early Years students will continue to eat at the picnic tables outside their classroom.
Please note that microwaves and hot water will now be available during lunch for students in KG-Grade 5.
Virtual Learning & Student Absences
Nearly all AISC students -- 98% -- are now attending our On-Campus Program.
If you have already arranged for your child(ren) to stay virtual, that program will continue through the end of the school year.
If you have not arranged to be in our Virtual Learning Program and expect to remain there for the rest of the year, please contact the section Principal no later than Friday, February 25th.
For students attending our On-Campus Program, please note our attendance procedure:
If a student is sick or needs to stay at home for personal reasons, they will not attend class virtually. Please complete the ParentLocker survey and notify the section office.
If a student is in quarantine/isolation by COVID-19 Protocol, complete the ParentLocker survey and notify the section office and homeroom teacher if your child will attend virtually.
EAL All School Dialogue Feb 17, 2022 Follow Up
Thank you to all the parents who were able to join us for the EAL All School Dialogue. It was wonderful to talk with you and answer your questions. We appreciate your participation. If you would like to look at the information we shared, here is the slide presentation. We also shared some great resources for supporting speaking, listening, reading and writing in English that you can use at home. Here is the EAL Parent resource page. We look forward to meeting with you again.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email.
