Dear Parents,
We trust you are well! As the weather begins to shift, we want to start by letting you know that the rainy season here in Chennai has officially begun. We are expecting a few rain days in the near future and are taking proactive steps. Should the weather require us to transition, please be assured that the school is preparing its virtual learning setup to ensure continuity of your child’s education. We will send out separate, immediate communication if a virtual learning day is necessary. We have a few exciting and busy weeks on the horizon with conferences, athletic events, and theater productions!
Looking ahead, we are excited to be preparing for our upcoming SAISA Season 1 tournaments and the ISTA Theatre festival.
Please remember that Monday, October 20th, is Diwali, and school will be closed for the public holiday. We hope you enjoy the celebrations with your family!
Kindest Regards,
Justyna McMillan, Chris Galaty, Riedwaan Kader
