Dear
Parents,
The excitement that always marks the
end of the school year is starting to build. The Seniors have finished their
coursework and are taking advantage of a well-deserved rest. They will head off
on a retreat early next week for one last opportunity to be together as a class
and to reflect on their experiences at AISC. Their comments and suggestions will be helpful to the faculty and administration as we seek to continuously improve
the way we do things.
High School Awards Assembly
At today’s Awards Assembly we celebrated the academic and athletic accomplishments
of our students. Our outstanding athletes received several awards, after which
we presented the Faculty Awards for Achievement. We announced the Valedictorian and the Salutatorian of this year’s
graduating class and finally the National Honor Society inducted new members into the Seva chapter.
You can see the the
names of the students who received awards as well as the criteria for the Faculty Awards by following the High School Awards 2013-2014 link in the sidebar.
Semester Exams
The underclassmen still have a way to go with semester exams beginning on Monday. These are summative assessments that help teachers determine the extent to which each student has met the learning outcomes for the course. Students in grades 9-11 will take their exams starting on May 26 and ending on May 29. To ensure the integrity of the assessments, final exams will not be given prior to the exam dates. A final schedule have been posted in the Daily Bulletin, on the high school Moodle page and on the bulletin boards around the high school.
Commencement Exercises
Next Wednesday the faculty and the Seniors will meet one last time at the Senior-Faculty Dinner. Then on Thursday we will hold the main event, the Commencement Exercises marking the graduation of the AISC Class of 2014. The ceremony will begin at 4:00 p.m. in the Theater and will be followed by a reception for the Seniors, their families and their guests.
The Kaplan Center of Chennai will be offering SAT preparation
courses on our campus beginning on August 16. The
classes will take place in the afternoon on Saturdays and are appropriate for
students in grades 11 and 12. The Kaplan Center will have an enrolment
desk in the main entrance of the school on May 27-29. For enrollment
information, please call 9176639785 or 9176639766 or send an email message
to Harleenb@thechopras.com.
Students
leaving AISC
Each
year some of our students leave the school. Records from AISC are usually
required by the next school. However, it takes us some time to prepare these
records. If you will be leaving the school, please contact us at least as soon
as possible so we can prepare the necessary documents to make your transition
as smooth as possible. Final report cards and transcripts will be made
available for 12th Grade students by the end of the school day
on Friday, May 30. Final report cards will be available for 9th, 10th and
11th grade students by Friday, June 6.
