If you use the printed year planner and would like to order another one for next year, please list your name here. We will only order as required.

June Student Withdrawals
As indicated by parents in the Admissions Re-enrollment survey these students will be leaving AISC at the end of the school year. If you know of any students who are leaving and are not listed, please inform Hazel or Padmapriya.

Learning Celebration Calendar Summit
To prepare for next year’s community learning celebrations, and taking into account teacher feedback and the work of the learning celebration committee, on May 13 GTLs will meet for a Learning Celebration Calendar Summit.  Briefly, this will be an opportunity for GTLs to bring the Learning Celebration dates to the team, solicit ideas about the best times for each triad to celebrate, then join a collaborative conversation to decide on final dates.  GTLs will find a time to look at this document with their teams.  Thanks for your flexibility and creativity in envisioning backward planning for Learning Celebrations.  
 
 

Keep Tweeting!
We love the buzz from the Twittersphere using #aiscelementary! So many cool things are going on around here, and Twitter gives us a format to share them and enjoy each others’ work.  

Have a great weekend!

Warmly,

Keryn, Dave and Calley
