Goodbye Summer and end of the year announcement (June 8 Toddle)
Dear AISL families,
As promised during today's assembly, please find some activity options to engage with this summer! These are especially helpful if you find yourselves indoors and are looking for something to do as a family or for your child to have a voice and choice in selecting activities to manage their own self-care. Activities are available for Pre-K to adults.
Most of the students are familiar with the resources, and have asked me to share with you!
Practice mindfulness/meditation
Visit a museum(virtually)
Additional things to do:
Please consider gathering pictures over the summer holiday break for sharing with the AISL community when we return in the new academic year as per tradition.
May you always be happy, peaceful, and safe. Until we meet again.
During the summer break, I may not be able to access my e-mail regularly, but please do reach out as needed to dabukazam@aislagos.org
Warm regards, Ms. D.

Announcement sent May 31:
Dear AISL families,
I hope you are doing well! I just can't believe that we have less than 10 days of school left!! The year sure has gone by so fast!
I'm sharing this announcement as a reminder for families who plan on leaving AISL. Please make sure to follow the procedures listed on pg 5 of the EC/ES Transition guidebook.
In order to maintain consistency, quality, and confidentiality, AISL uses an internal teacher reference form that is kept with me in a confidential file. All reference requests for departing students need to be made ten days before the teachers leave for the summer holiday break.
Please do let me know if you have any questions about transition by contacting me via e-mail at dabukazam@aislagos.org
Thank you in advance!
Warm regards,
D.
