Dear Families,
January passed so quickly and we are well underway with all the exciting events of our second semester. Look out for communication below about some great upcoming events such as the Feb Fling - an annual event hosted by High School students for our very own Elementary Students.
Early Dismissal
A reminder that next Wednesday 8 February is an Early Dismissal. Please collect your children from campus at 2pm.
Parent Coffee - Tuesday 14 February - 8.45 am - 9.45 am
Our next parent coffee is rescheduled from January, and will be on “Understanding Elementary Education in the 21st Century”, with a particular focus on understanding the Inquiry pedagogy as well as the role of co-teaching and home learning. There will be time for questions at the end. We look forward to welcoming you in the ES Cafeteria.
Matt Holm - Visiting Author
Each year AISC brings an author to work with students and share his or her passion for reading and writing. This year, we have the honor of welcoming author and illustrator, Mr. Matthew Holm. Matthew Holm (http://www.matthewholm.net) will be visiting AISC from February 20-24. In addition to many other books, he is the co-author and illustrator of two popular series, Baby Mouse and Squish! During his stay he will be sharing some of his books with students and even do some special sessions for teachers. There will be an opportunity to meet Matthew Holm for parents on Tuesday, February 21 during the Parent Coffee from 8:45-9:45. Please email Mr. Jet in the ES/MS CIC if you have any questions (wjeremy@aischennai.org).
Supervision After School - Important Reminder!
School finishes each day at 3.30pm. After this time all children must be directly supervised by a parent, unless they are in an After School Activity. Any child on the playground or soccer field must have a parent with them outside, and not in the cafeteria. Children found unsupervised will be taken to the ES Reception and parents called to collect them.
Feb Fling is coming up (repeat announcement)
Feb Fling 2017 will be held on Saturday, February 11th from 12 to 4. It is our yearly event where High School students interact with ES and MS students and their families while raising money for service clubs throughout the school. The ticket price is 400 rps (500 rps if purchased at the door) and both students and parents will be able to participate in the various booths and receive lunch if they present their tickets.
The high school Student Council are currently working together to organize fun activities such as water bottle flip, obstacle course, MS pool party and lots more! Delicious food and great raffle prizes will be prepared so come to Feb Fling on the 11th of February and have fun!
Call to donate shoes (repeat announcement)
NHS is hosting a beach cleanup in association with Namma Beach, Namma Chennai. It will take place on Sunday, February 19th at Palavakkam beach and students from local schools are invited.
As you may know, Chennai beaches are highly polluted and often littered with sharp objects that could prove dangerous without proper footwear. To ensure that everyone who participates in the beach cleanup has footwear, especially the young children from local schools, NHS is organizing a shoe drive at AISC for the next four weeks.
Please feel free to donate any used shoes, especially flip flops and sandals, in children’s sizes. Boxes will be located near the main reception, in the iHub and in front of the high school office.
Thanks for all your support!
