Elementary School Parent Coffee

Join the Elementary School Counselors and Elementary School leadership team to learn a few simple strategies to be your best self each day. You can take care of your own personal and professional needs and be present with your child by taking a few simple actions. Join us on Tuesday to talk with other community members and share experiences. 


Collecting Classroom Belongings / Yearbook From 2019-20 School Year

Your children's items (classwork, personal items, artwork, etc...) from last year have been collected to the best of our ability. If you are interested in picking up these items from school, please complete this form and we will contact you with pick up details. The 2019-2020 yearbook will also be included with your child’s work.

 

Spirit Week is Coming!

Family Use of the AISC Libraries

AISC families are able to request books every week from our libraries using this Google form. Books can be ordered through the form from Friday until Monday at 9:00am and can be picked up curbside at the Elementary School entrance on Wednesdays between 10:00am -1:00pm. Bags with the child's name clearly marked on the front will be located inside the white cubbies. Patrons are invited to take the bag that belongs to them without touching any other materials. In addition, a book drop for returning books is positioned curbside at the Elementary School entrance. We encourage families to return the books after two weeks, although if a specific title is needed for a longer period, please contact Babs to implement an extension. 

 

Library staff will practice all health and safety protocols while gathering your books. Upon return, books and the canvas bags that are distributed will be sanitized. 

 

We encourage families to check the library catalog before requesting specific titles to ensure that they are available. Please let Babs know on bbarbara@aischennai.org know if you have any questions.

  • You make me smile.

  • I think about you when we’re apart.

  • My world is better with you in it.

  • I will do my best to keep you safe.

  • I know you can handle it.

  • You are creative.

  • You are capable.
