Dear Middle School Parents,
The biggest show of the year is here! Cabaret 2015 will be as big as ever, with dozens of students performing in more genres than ever before. This year's exciting theme is "Spin Cycle". With vocalists, dancers and rock bands covering dozens of countries and styles, a good time is guaranteed for everybody!
Due to the enormous popularity of Cabaret, the continued growth of our school community and the limited number of seats available in the auditorium, students, parents and other audience members are kindly requested to reserve their seats in advance for Rs.50, available for pickup starting Monday, March 16 at main reception and elementary reception. All students in grades 6-12 are warmly invited to reserve tickets, as are all parents of elementary, middle and high school students. While we love audience members of all ages, this show is appropriate for patrons eight years and older with direct parental supervision.
We would like to recognize and thank The Cabaret Design Team: Mr. Cary, Ms. Diane, Ms. Lee and Mr. William.
Cabaret 2015: Spin Cycle is Saturday, March 21 at 7:00pm in the AISC Auditorium.
See you there!

Virtual Learning Drill Reminder
Please plan ahead for our Virtual Learning Drill scheduled for March 25th. On this date, all students will remain home from school for a full schedule of learning using both digital and traditional materials. This is what you should expect in the days leading up to this drill and on the day of the drill.
- You will receive an emergency sms message from AISC on Tuesday, March 24th notifying the community of our plans to close school the following day.
- You will receive an email shortly after the sms from the Head of School explaining the situation. These communications are part of the drill and are not meant to cause concern.
- You and your child will then receive an email from each of your section Principals further explaining what teaching and learning will look like the following day for your children.
- On the morning of March 25th at 8:30 am you will receive an email indicating that school has begun for that day.
- Your child, possibly with your help depending the age and independence of your children, will log into Moodle to find instructions for learning.
- Middle and High School students will log into their normally scheduled classes (it is a 2E in the Middle School) and, ideally, complete those during the normally scheduled times. It is best to follow the schedule as closely as possible so as not to miss the teacher's office hours, which will be open during that class.
- Elementary School students and/or parents will access the homeroom teacher's Moodle page where they will find further instructions and links for the subjects the child would normally have on that day. Specialist teachers will link to their lessons through the homeroom teachers' page.
- Students will have opportunities to interact with teachers via both chat or video conference to have their questions answered.
- In the event of technical issues, please call our direct tech support line at (44) 2254-9029 or (44) 3357-9029.
Lost and Found
The Lost and Found items will be displayed on tables on Thursday, 26th March and Friday, 27th March in the main entrance. Please stop by to see if any of the items belong to your child(ren). Those items not claimed by Friday, 27th March will be donated to local orphanages.
Coming Soon…
AISC welcomes singer-songwriter, Kathryn Claire as our Spring 2015 Artist in Residence!
After a successful residency last year, Kathryn will return for two weeks of teaching and performance. Part of a new generation of traditionally-inspired musicians, Kathryn’s guitar and fiddle-playing exhibit a technical grace which is matched only by her truly captivating voice and her rare ability to move seamlessly across genres. She will be working in elementary, middle, and high school music classes and will conduct after school song-writing workshops with MS/HS students.
Beginning April 13th, Kathryn’s residency will culminate in a Friday@5 concert in association with R.I.S.E. on the 24th of April. Her charismatic presence and infectious smile have made her a favorite at venues and festivals around the world- and we are thrilled to welcome her back to our campus.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Alan Phan
Middle School Principal
