Masks optional outside

We’re continuing to monitor case counts in Chennai and among the AISC community. The numbers for both are low.  We’re also quite aware of the heat and humidity. And, we know that COVID-19 is very difficult to transmit with ample fresh air. In attempting to balance those factors with any external requirements, masks may again be removed while outdoors.  Please wear masks while in the entry/exit area of campus, and at all times while indoors.

Note from HS Library 

With IB, AP, and final exams approaching, many students are using the HS Library for quiet study. Please respect your classmates and take your socializing elsewhere. Students making too much noise will be asked to leave.

Guidance on being on campus after school

To be in a club or activity meeting, supervised by the faculty advisor

To be in a supervised space: Gym, Raptor’s Den, iHub and soon, the library.

All other students need to depart campus at 3:45

If one needs to stay after school past  due to a sibling’s meeting, you should remain in the above supervised spaces or the Unity Courtyard.

Using the fields and being in classrooms unsupervised is not allowed.

Thank you for your attention to this important safety and supervision consideration.
