Dear Parents and Students,
Congratulations on completing this academic year online. Parents, thank you for your partnership in supporting our students throughout this year. It has been an exceptional year. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and feedback. This year online has highlighted our strength as a community to work together in the best interest of our students. Enjoy the summer break and look for email communication from the Head of School’s office about the beginning of the 2021-22 school year.
Eighth Grade Promotion Ceremony
This
week, we had the pleasure of coming together to celebrate our eighth grade’s
transition to high school. The recording of the ceremony is here for you to view again or for the first
time if you were not able to attend the live session. We ask, that out of
privacy to our students, that you not share this on social media.

Thank
you to our dedicated student newspaper crew for publishing one final edition of
the AISC times for the year. Read all about the end of the year here!

Supply List
Please
see this list of basic school supplies students will need for next
school year. Any additional materials, as needed, will be communicated by class
teachers or supplied by AISC.
Raptor Runway
We are
ready to orient new and current students to the middle school in August through
our two-day orientation, Raptor Runway! Raptor Runway will prepare students to
navigate their schedule, online platforms, use instructional technology and get
to know their advisors, teachers and classmates. Raptor Runway will take place
during the first week of school and all students are expected to attend these
days. More information will be forthcoming before the beginning of the school
year.
Document Collection
Campus
is now closed and school documents cannot be printed. When campus re-opens, we
will be able to issue paper copies of reports and transfer certificates. Please
see previous week’s posts for information about the withdrawal process and
issuing school documents. Send questions about documents to: msoffice@aicschennai.org.
Summer Reading
The AISC Libraries
have curated reading lists for all students to enjoy this summer. Please
check out Sora and Destiny Discover Collections here, here, and here to browse the titles and be sure to let us know what
you're reading this summer with a 'shelfie' on our Summer Reading Padlet! Please reach out to Ms. Babs if you have any questions and
happy reading!
Have a relaxing and healthy summer,
