Halloween Party tonight, Friday, October 31st from 6 pm – 8 pm. Tell
your children to dress up and come for a fun night.
Next week, the Middle

The Little Mermaid.
Through almost non-stop song
and dance, this full-hearted musical tells the story of Ti Moune, a peasant
girl who rescues and falls in love with Daniel, a wealthy boy from the other
side of her island. When Daniel is returned to his people, the fantastical gods
who rule the island guide Ti Moune on a quest that will test the strength of
her love against the powerful forces of prejudice, hatred, and even death.

on sale before school and after school near the main reception. Tickets
are 250 Rupees each. The show is suitable for all ages! Come support the

Child Protection
One of the most important aspects of our
school is keeping children safe. Ms. Trish, MS Counselor, have met with all
students in the Middle School to talk about how to keep themselves and their
friends safe. Here are some tips in how to talk to your children:
“Keeping Your Child Safe from Harm” Tips for
Parents
Providing a safe and open home environment so
that children are able to talk about their problems freely and in a
non-judgemental way will go a long way in developing a good rapport between
parents and child. The early this starts in the home, the easier and more
comfortable an older child will feel coming to their parents for advice and
help or just to talk.
The Collaboration and Inquiry Center (CIC)'s
New Saturday Hours are a Huge Success!
Our new hours have seen a great turnout of
students, parents, and staff coming through the CIC's doors on Saturdays!
Since September 6th, when Saturday hours first began, the CIC has
received 63 visitors on average each Saturday for the last six weeks. During
that time visitors have been able to come in and use the CIC for projects,
reading, Internet, and book checkout (over 350 books on Saturdays so far). Our
new hours are part of AISC's continued commitment to literacy and learning, and
is a great way for students, staff, and parents to utilize our print and
digital resources even more. This is a space open to all students in grades
preschool to twelve, so come on in and enjoy the CIC!
As a reminder, please note that we will be
closed on student 3-day weekends and during school breaks (this includes
closing the CIC on Saturday, October 18 and October 25 of Diwali break).
We look forward to welcoming back to on Saturdays beginning November 1st.
Here are a few CIC Saturday Reminders:
- We are open 8:30-12:30.
- Please sign-in on clipboards when
coming to the CIC on Saturdays. This will help us with supervision
as well as collecting data on Saturday usage.
- Please enjoy food and drink
outside the CIC.
- ES students must be accompanied by
a parent on campus during non-school hours (ES school policy). ES
students should come to the CIC on Saturdays with a parent.
- MS
and HS students should only be on campus during non-school hours when they
are part of a school-organized activity or sport. Saturdays in the
CIC counts as a school-organized activity. If students leave the
CIC, but are not taking part in another school activity or sport, they
should leave the AISC campus.
Have a fun and relaxing fall break and safe
travels.

Middle School Principal
