Student Life Update:
The year is sadly coming to a close! This past Wednesday after school we celebrated the end of the Spring Season with the Spring Co-Curricular Celebration. AISB Sport teams and clubs met one last time to close out their season and reflect on their time together.
The amazing Blazer Barkers also met on Thursday during lunch and feasted on a dog- shaped cake, and celebrated an amazing year of accomplishments.
On Wednesday, June 8 we will be holding our last M.S Assembly of the year. The assembly will largely focus on saying goodbye and reflecting on the school year.
Please remember that Friday, June 10th is M.S. Sports Day! Our P.E. Dep't has put together a great day of events with a focus on celebrating internationalism. Students will be asked to wear a representative shirt of their home country. If they don't have one, they will also get the opportunity to make one provided they bring in a white t-shirt.
Last but not least, On Tuesday, June 14th, the entire Middle School will be going out to AQUAPARK. We hope every student attends this event (Even if they don't want to swim. It will the last time we are together as a whole Middle School! Please have your child bring in the permission slip as soon as possible.
May the Blazer Force be with you!

Grade 5 Parent and Student Orientation:
Our Middle School staff presented an information session to 5th grade parents this past week as part of our orientation program.We look forward to welcoming our 5th grade parents and students to the Middle School next year!
On Wednesday morning, we welcomed 5th grade students to the Middle School with a brief presentation centering on Student Life and Athletics, followed by 1:1 student sessions within future advisory groups. It was a great way for our incoming 6th grade class to feel comfortable and welcome in the Middle School!
Grade 8 Completion Ceremony:
More than anything, ceremonies are a time of community building, welcoming and celebrating the achievements and growth of those around us. On Wednesday, June 15th, at 6:30 p.m, AISB celebrates the completion of our 8th grade students' years in the middle school. The special event is also a time for the AISB community to recognize and appreciate the collective efforts of family, friends, and teachers in order to nurture and support our soon-to-be 9th graders.

All new AISB Website:
Dear Parents,
We are proud to let you know that our new website shows an updated look for the public to get a taste of AISB school life. It contains essential information, is now fully device-responsive and will remain at www.aisb.hu. We will be adding school videos in the near future to key areas.
The Parent Portals will be streamlined to offer all the relevant information which is found on the current website and will now be accessed through your existing Veracross account. Login to your Veracross will remain the same as it is today. The new website is live and you can now use the instructions in the video below to locate your Veracross account from the new website.
Please click here for the Instruction Video.
We have also upgraded our Admissions experience for new families which is available through the "Apply Now" button at the top right of our new website.
Our next project is to look at adding a school app to streamline your communication experience.
We hope that you are satisfied with these developments and we look forward to hearing your feedback.
Kind regards,
Magdalen Gray

MS Sports Day info . . .
MS Sports Day is next Friday, June 10th. Internationalism is one of our main themes for the day. Staff and students are asked to wear t-shirts which represent their nationality! There will also be a face painting station set up on Sports Day to help students get into the international theme!
If students do not have a t-shirt representing their country, they are asked to bring in their own t-shirt to design and create their country's colors/ flags for Sports Day!
Ms. Waller and Ms. Rantieri will happily assist students in the MS art room during lunch to use fabric paints and pens!!! …. (H&M has blank white T's if you're looking to buy one!)
So let your creativity run free and paint your t-shirt before Sports Day on FRIDAY 10th!!

Reconnecting with Senegal:
Letters and High School students interviewed about their trip . . .
Our 6-7 Intermediate French students were delighted to receive long-awaited responses from their pen pal from Warang, Senegal. The letters were sent two months ago but arrived just when the classes were preparing to interview two High School students who participated in the service learning trip to Senegal in October. To apply the use of the past tense students prepared questions about the trip. On Tuesday
Emelie and Ráhel made a presentation to the classes followed by questions. Students acted like journalists listening and taking notes during the presentations. After the presentation they asked their questions. Collectively (using a google doc) students entered the information they gathered and created an article. Students enjoyed applying all their skills, collaborating and learning more about what they found out was a beautiful country with happy and generous people.
Upcoming Events:
Monday, June 6: MS PSA Meeting 9:00 - 11:00
Tuesday, June 7: MS Department meeting 15:45 - 17:00
Wednesday, June 8: Final MS Assembly 11:15 - 12:05
