Week 1

ASAs

With one full week of school completed we also have completed our first week of ASAs.  It isn't too late to sign up as some still have space.  See the full information in last week's post to register.

Medical forms

A question during the grade 6 parent coffee this morning was about the health forms that we ask of grade 3, 6, and 9 students. If you have one completed, you can submit it electronically to the School Nurse - djessy@aischennai.org.  If you do not have it yet that's okay.  We won't be seeking them until we're on campus.  Given the existing burden on the medical system in some places we do not want these forms to limit students in any way.

School year launch with activities

The past two days have had students very busy with the start of the year.  During these times of virtual learning it is essential for us to support the social interactions of students, many of which happen through extracurricular activities.  So these past few days have been busy with opportunities for students to learn about and sign up for some of the things we'll offer this year.

First, our ASA program this year is open to Grades 1-12 for the first season.  These virtual activities will be entirely conducted virtually and will be free.  For more information, check out this document and register here.  Note that these start next week!

For high school students, the first day of classes also included the Club & Activity Mela.  This document has some of the information that was available to students, though they also were able to participate in live sessions to learn about each of the club offerings.  See the slides I shared with the HS to know a little more of the background.

One last thing, just a reminder that keeping track of a student's ID number is going to very helpful in ensuring that registrations for activities and other files are done accurately.  Have a wonderful weekend and good week next week!
