Update Regarding the Cholera Outbreak

Dear Parents,

As many of you are aware, parts of Lusaka have suffered an outbreak of cholera. This has led the Ministries of Health and Education to declare that schools should be closed and there should be no public gatherings until the outbreak has been contained. That directive is scheduled to be reviewed on January 30.

The AISL administration and the U.S Embassy will be monitoring the situation and liaising with the relevant authorities before making a final decision regarding re-opening on schedule on Tuesday, 16 January.   Fortunately, we have the benefit of some time to allow the situation to become more clear and the Board of Directors will make a final decision on our course of action by Friday, 12 January.  We hope that we can find a solution that will ensure the health and safety of our community while also ensuring the continuity of our children's education.

Due to the government's directive against public gatherings, we will cancel any sports practices, sports camps, and our library's holiday hours until further notice. 

We very much appreciate your patience and understanding as we determine how best to move forward in this difficult time.

 Sincerely,

 Russ Menard
