Dear Middle School Parents,
It is always great to have students back on campus. I love seeing the energy and excitement of students as they come into school and eager to get to their classes and meet their teachers. When asked to rate on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being best, I got a lot 10s for the first day of school. They might have just told the principal what he wanted to hear, but it was genuine that they had a great first two days of school. Here are some smiling faces:

Back to School Night
Please save the date and join us for Back to School Night on Thursday, 18 August at 5:00pm.
The purpose of this night is for parents to meet the teachers and find out information about the course content, expectations of the teacher, and set the foundation for school to home communication and discussing ways that teachers and parents can work together to support learning. You will experience an abridged version of a “day in the life” of your student(s).
Student Health Forms Reminder
Welcome to the 2016/2017 school year. I hope all of you had a fantastic summer break and are ready for the new school year. As a quick reminder, all AISC returning students are required to complete the "Student Health Form" and "Physical Exam Form" by the beginning of this school year. This form was sent to each of you in the final version of Principal's Notes last June.
Any student wishing to participate in ASIAC Table Tennis or Badminton and SAISA Swimming must have this form returned to the school by no later than Tuesday, August 16, 2016. Students that have not returned these forms by this deadline, will not be permitted to practice or participate.
The links to the Health Form and Physical Exam Form are as provided for your convenience. We appreciate your cooperation with this matter.
Have a nice weekend.
Sincerely,
Alan Phan & Andrew Ranson
