Enrolled sibling supervision is on the playground if you need to direct parents
The library is closed for ES students/parents during SLCs
Faculty lunch will be in the FAC Atrium

Specialists - please have a sign with your capacity and a note to please wait outside if the room is full. Please keep students moving through the room to let others in as appropriate.

RISE - March 30th & 31st
Here is the schedule for RISE. Please bring your students to the ES cafeteria at your scheduled time. Sara will do a brief introduction with all of the students before heading outside to explore our campus in homeroom groups. Teachers should accompany their class on the campus exploration.
Staff Book Study 2022-2023
Are you interested in joining your colleagues in a book study featuring Steeped in Stories, written by next year's visiting author, Mitali Perkins? If so, please let us know by filling out this form by next Friday, April 1st. Participants will meet once per semester, then again with Mitali during her visit to AISC to discuss the book and share a delicious breakfast together. If you have any questions, please let Babs know.
Pilot Program Opportunity - Math Workshop - Free book included!
Are you interested in exploring different ways to meet the math learning needs of every student in our classrooms? Come join other eager volunteers as we delve into the book, Math Workshop written by Jennifer Lempp and published by Marilyn Burns’ Math Solutions. Over the course of next year (dates and times to be determined), we will read about the five steps to successfully implementing the transformational math workshop model of instruction including guided math and learning stations. Additionally, we will put our learning into practice and reflect on our application together. If interested, please fill out this Google form by Monday, March 28th so that we can order the books needed in time for the beginning of next year. (Option available to purchase the book over the summer on your own and get reimbursed for those eager to get a jump start. Note: the book may be difficult to source in India). Let us know if you have any questions. Thank you! Elliot and Lynn
