Dear Faculty,

Happy long weekend and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you celebrating this weekend. These notes are short and sweet - like so many of you (sweet, that is - not necessarily short!).

Secret Santa begins Monday - remember to drop little gifts, notes or surprises two or three times a week with a final gift delivered on Thursday 21st December. Enjoy spoiling your secret friend for the next couple of weeks.  Shhh…..it’s secret!

Thank you’s
  • From Bindu - Thank you to Carl for helping Grade 4 make their own flags representing an experience in India.
  • Megha for being courageous in her Adaptive schools ‘at home’ presentation
  • All teachers and TAs who pitched in to help with sub cover and duties this week
  • Vigna, Lily, Morgen, Deepa, Tiffany, Dee, Becky, Carl, Nicole, Bindu and Amritha for getting in their team’s orders!
  • From Ula - Thank You to my triad (Fer, Samantha, Padma and Evelyn) covering my classes and duties while I have been away at the Adaptive Schools training.
  • I’d like to thank Cheyenne and Anitha for stepping in to cover me while I was away at Adaptive Schools and for Preethi and Barbara who supported them!

Booking flights for summer
Saturday 2nd June is our final day at school for this academic year. We will all be expected to be in at work, so flights out for summer can be booked from late Saturday evening or into Sunday.

Meet AISC - Jyotsna Nanda - Grade 4 Homeroom teacher

Ms Jyotsna Nanda is from the state of Himachal Pradesh. She has grown up in different states across India. Jyotsna has lived in the Middle East and in West Africa. During her time in the Middle East, she started her career as an educator at the American International School of Lome. She has been at AISC for 17 years where she has grown personally and professionally. One thing that the AISC community might not know about her is her love for desserts!  

Happy long weekend everyone!

Keryn & Lori
