Newsletter and Events in Feb-2022 / Noticias y Eventos Febrero-2022

Dear AIS Community,

With great joy we have started the Second Semester of the School Year 2021-2022 by offering 100% face-to-face classes for all grade levels. However, we are maintaining the Online option (asynchronous) for those students who must stay home due to health conditions or preventive quarantine.

We welcome 11 new students and 8 new families joining our educational community this month. We hope that your time at AIS will be a great experience!

Some of our classes already report 100% of students fully vaccinated against Covid-19. We remind you of the importance of providing our School Nurse with a copy of the student’s vaccination card, with the intention of keeping their records up to date and to be able to provide reports to the corresponding authorities.

All staff and service providers who are in direct contact with students (cafeteria, security, transportation, afterschool coaches, etc.) are preparing to receive the third dose of the Covid-19 vaccine on Tuesday, February 22, 2022. Thus, we are re-scheduling the February Online Day for Tuesday-22 and Wednesday-23 (2 days online), that week we will resume face- to-face classes with students on Thursday-24.
