Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome to the second term of the Tashkent International School After-School Activities program for 2011-2012! We are pleased to offer our students a wide range of activities for the winter term. We are always looking for ways to improve our program and welcome your input and expertise. Please let us know if you have any ideas for improvement.
We would appreciate parent volunteers to offer some of our after-school activities. This would greatly increase the range of activities we can offer our students. If you would like to lead an activity, please contact me at marina@tashschool.org.
We hope that you and your child(ren) will find an activity (or several) that is of interest. The activities begin the week of December 5 and end the week of March 2, 2012. There will be no activities on early dismissal days (such as parent conferences) or on days where there is no school.
Throughout the school year, we may have to cancel an activity. If this happens we will do our best to either find a substitute teacher for the activity or inform you as quickly as possible.
You will find a registration form and a small description of each activity on the website under the After-School Activities section. Please complete the form according to your child’s interest.
We will accept registration for the second semester of after-school activities until Monday, Nov. 21. Please do remember that once students have chosen an activity they are expected to attend this activity for the full trimester. It is not possible for students to change activities once they have started.
Some activities will be run by Russian-speaking instructors. As these activities are very much “hands-on,” non-Russian speaking students will still be able to participate. These activities are indicated by an asterisk (*).
Should an activity have more students interested than places available, priority will be given to the students who registered first. On the other hand, we may have to cancel some activities if we do not have enough students registered.
After school, all students involved in after-school activities should line up by the entrance close to the grade 1 classroom at 3:30 p.m. Instructors will come to get students. Please make sure that you pick up your child at the gates when the activity ends at 4:30. If your child cannot participate in a lesson, please inform the office in advance.
A big thank you to the TIS teaching staff for offering such a wide variety of interesting and engaging activities!
Attention to preschool and kindergarten parents – we highly recommend that you sign your child up for no more than one activity a week. It’s overwhelming for little ones to cope with the school load and more than one activity.
Please understand that we do not have supervision on campus after 3:30 p.m. for students not involved in after-school activities. Elementary students not registered in an after-school activity must be picked up by 3:30. If you wish to play with your child on campus after school, you are very welcome as long as you directly supervise your child.
Children may not wait on campus for a sibling to finish an activity unless they are either in an activity or you have arranged supervision for him/her. Your cooperation ensures a safe environment at our school.
I you hope you will enjoy our after-school activities program and continue to embrace these learning opportunities. For further questions or clarifications, please contact me at marina@tashschool.org.
Sincerely,
After-Schools Activities Coordinator
