Dear Parents and students,
We hope you will enjoy the “sea of green” in the photos below. We asked students to wear their Advisory T-shirts that encourage students to “bloom where they are” for our assembly today.
Here is the calendar of upcoming events:
Portfolio Conferences:
Thank you to all the parents and students who conducted the portfolio conferences this past Wednesday. We are still compiling all the photos and forms and will share a review with you next week.
May 13th is VfL Day:
We are offering another Vision for a Learner Day on May 13th. It is exciting to be offering this opportunity on campus and there are a wide range of activities that students can participate in.
Here is the menu of student activities that students were given. They had 17 options to choose from and were asked to complete a survey with their top 5 choices. Students will find out their choices via email from their activity leader by Wednesday next week. We are excited about the opportunities that VfL Day offers our students: SCUBA; card-making; surfing & beach clean-up; synchronized swimming and baking. This is a wonderful chance for students to engage in the VfL traits while engaging in activities that are not part of their normal schedule.
Letters of Recommendation:
If you will be leaving AISC at the end of the school year and need a letter of recommendation please make the request to the middle school counseling office by May 20. This will ensure that we will get you the documents needed before the faculty leave for summer. If letters are requested after school has gone on summer holiday we can not ensure that we will get you a letter in a timely manner. Thank you for your understanding. Email requests can be sent to smargaret@aischennai.org
Masks optional outside starting Monday
We’re continuing to watch the cases in Chennai and among the AISC community. Things seem quite stable still. We’re keenly aware of the heat and humidity. We know that COVID-19 is very difficult to transmit with ample fresh air. In attempting to balance those factors with any external requirements, starting Monday, masks may again be removed while outdoors. Please continue to wear your mask while in the entry/exit area of campus, and at all times while indoors.
Request to Issue Transfer Certificate/Past Records:
The MS office has updated the form to request a transfer certificate and school records. You can access the form by clicking on the link above. You can also stop by the office to pick up a paper copy. Please be aware of the following points when requesting documents or a transfer certificate:
The office requires 5 working days' notice in order to process the transfer certificate request.
Transfer certificate and/or past records will be issued on the student’s last day at school provided all school materials and fees are accounted for.
One set of documents will be issued by the school. Additional copies if required (not more than 10 sets) can be made by family and brought to the office for school stamp / seal.
Homework Club:
Have a wonderful long weekend!
Take care,
Jennifer Bertram
Middle School Principal
