From the Director

What I am excited about…
 

• Invitational Sporting Events! Last weekend, we had our first sporting events since we closed our campus in March. Many thanks to the Activities department for hosting an invitational swim gala and an invitational basketball skills tournament. These events were kept small so that we could maintain strict health and safety protocols but were very successful. We will be hosting more soon. For the time being, we are not opening these events to spectators due to the need for safe distancing but we will review this practice over time.
• Holiday Hampers! Our annual Holiday Hamper drive will start soon. This is a beautiful AISL tradition where each student brings in a few small food items to help create a gift hamper for each member of the school’s support staff, including gardeners, bus drivers, security guards, maintenance workers, and cleaners. This serves as a recognition and a thank you from the students, staff, and parents for all the hard work that these people do on a daily basis to keep the school running smoothly and safely. Your child’s teacher or advisor will be in touch soon with more details.
• Parent Session on Understanding ADHD! Many thanks to our Director of Student Services, Chantra Reinman, for hosting a very informative parent session on ADHD and attention issues. If you missed it, you can watch the recording of it – and many previous parent sessions – on our Verbal Jam website.
