Newsletter and Events in Nov-2021 / Noticias y Eventos en Noviembre-2021

Dear AIS Community,

It was a great joy to celebrate Halloween on campus, and to have resumed other face-to-face activities such as: the student vs. parent + staff basketball game, the STUKO + NHS

Assembly in October. We thank everyone for abiding by the protocols that make these moments possible.

The General Assembly of Associates this semester will be held in person, on campus, please remember to wear a face mask and bring your ID to attend the session.

The Thanksgiving Luncheon will also be conducted in person, on campus and in compliance with the corresponding protocols. To reserve your table, please follow the instructions that will be detailed in the event notice. As usual, external vendors that sell books and toys will have products available for sale that day, you can place your orders in advance, a link will be provided for this purpose.

The STEM Fair will be exclusive for students on campus, but photos and videos will be shared via social media. This year we will feature projects from the MakerSpace and Robotics classes. Log onto Facebook and Instagram to see great creations from our students!

The collection of non-perishable food and personal hygiene items for the Home Palliative Care of Belén is maintained through the entire school year. You can bring donations to your Homeroom Teacher or directly to NHS students.

Please remember that the inclusion of navy-blue pants or skirt into our official uniform does not allow the use of denim (jeans) or ripped pants, please contact your Principal if you have questions.
