Reminder that there are no more ASAs this year. Starting Monday, May 23rd, parents may pick up their child(ren) on campus at dismissal. Students may also continue to get picked up at the ES gate as they are now. It may take some time for parents to get checked in at the gate. Parents who come onto campus will gather in the courtyard and will pick up their child as they see them. Please walk your class through the courtyard to have students look for their parent on the way to the gate. If your students don’t see a parent in the ES courtyard then, continue taking them to the ES gate. We appreciate your flexibility and patience as we work out this new dismissal procedure. We will still continue with staggered dismissal times.

End of the Year Checkout Form
Here is the end of the year check out form. You can also pick up a printed copy at the office.
Update on Andrew and Kay
As you may know, Andrew and Kay had to return to the United States to tend to an urgent family situation. We keep them in our thoughts as they support their ailing and aging parents. With such a short time remaining, it is unlikely they will return before the end of the school year.
Andrew would want us to enjoy the energy on campus right now - AISC is teeming with engagement and gratitude and, of course, emotions! I invite all of us to “lean in” to the wild ride of these final days together, savoring each moment and cherishing the amazing community of AISC!
End of the Year Pool Parties
Please communicate the date of your grade level pool party with your parents. Students will need to bring their bathing suit (KG students wear bathing suit to school) and a towel. Goggles and easy on/off sandals are optional.
New 4 Square Courts
There are two new 4 square courts for students in KG-G2 under the tent in the back corner of the playground. Please let students know they may use those courts during recess.
Grad Walk
The HS is pleased to share that we will have our annual "Grad Walk" on Wednesday, May 25th beginning at 10:00 am. During this parade, graduates in their caps/gowns walk through campus to cheers and salutes from students and staff grades EY-11. The grads appreciate the incredible support this event has had from all sections during years' past (2016-2019) While the quality isn't super, you can get a sense of the event by watching the 2016 video here. We ask for you to have your students step out of class, line the hallway and do a little cheering. The entire walk takes no more than 10 minutes and the route is found below. We bang drums and have noisemakers, so you will certainly hear us coming!

Professional Learning Transcript Request Process
Need an official "PD Transcript" from AISC? As indicated on Schoology, here is how you request a transcript:
The Office or Teaching and Learning tracks all learning opportunities pursued through personal and programmatic funding. Faculty and staff have the option of sharing self-funded development (including graduate studies) with the office to keep information centralized. Upon request, the Office of Teaching and Learning will create an official "PD Transcript" for individuals to share their development with others and certifying bodies.
You can request your transcript by contacting Sonia (dsonia@aischennai.org). Please be sure to share certificates of completion and/or transcripts along with the hours/CEUs for any opportunities not directly funded by AISC. Sonia will share a draft transcript to make sure it is complete and then, will create an official .pdf and/or printed copy for your use. Please allow time for this process, especially at busy times of the year.
Have a great weekend.
Lynn and Dave
