Dear AISC, 

Happy American Thanksgiving! 

Tomorrow, we take time away from school and acknowledge the American Thanksgiving holiday. Thanksgiving is a holiday of North America and it originates as celebration of both a good harvest and the end of the harvest season. Harvest celebrations abound in cultures and nations around the world and throughout history. These celebrations endure because they touch some core aspect of shared beliefs that resonate with hope and gratitude. Since the mid-19th century (Abraham Lincoln – the 16th President – established a uniform national holiday during the American Civil War to advance unity in a time of great social and political upheaval), the United States has celebrated Thanksgiving at the end of November and over time this celebration of food, family, forgiveness, and generosity has come to mean many things to many different people. 

Today, we are in the midst of experiencing (again) the forces of disunity across the globe. There is no better time than now to be graciously reflecting on our Core Belief: Embracing our diversity makes us a stronger community. 

As part of AISC’s series The Portal Project – Parenting Beyond the Pandemic, on Monday evening Joelle Basnight hosted Homa Tavangar for a conversation entitled, Tools for Having Courageous Conversations about Race, Culture, and Beliefs. If you were not able to make it, you missed an inspired 75 minutes of perspective and dialogue. (Please see below details of the next session under the Office of Teaching and Learning Update). 

The discussion inspired me to consider ways to be aware of my own biases and how to empower young people toward self-awareness in the areas of race, culture, and belief. A millions times in these notes, I have written about the importance of conversation in the learning process. Homa’s talk reminded me of the value of listening – listening to understand and learn, and not to respond. Progress for shaping a better world in part comes down to mutual understanding, which can only be achieved by listening to understand. 

Among my many takeaways from Homa’s talk? “World peace starts at the dinner table.” 

Let’s take that thought into this Thanksgiving weekend when each of us will have opportunities to commune with others over familiar foods and good conversation. 

Enjoy the long weekend. 

More Rain This Weekend!

And, more rain is coming! We had a wet Thursday morning on campus and the forecast says more is on the way! 

Our campus closure procedures are in these Notes below. If schools get closed by directive over the weekend, we will communicate directly with you as we have been doing during this rainy season. 

Stay safe and dry! 

Reminder - Current State Update

What we know and what families need to do as we head toward our Winter Break.

Futures Planning - Blog Updates!

Wondering what is happening with AISC’s Futures Plan? Check out the updated blog post by Greg Clinton and Joelle Basnight. 

Joelle shares about progress in the Learning and Wellbeing pathway while Greg reports on goals related to Learning and Research & Development. 

You are invited to the upcoming Parent Portal Project Session with Dr. Sean Truman!

 

Here is a description of the session:

Over the course of the last twenty months, the Covid pandemic has upended the social and emotional lives of people living around the world. This is particularly true for young people, who have disproportionately experienced high levels of anxiety, depression and social problems. These changes have occurred widely, affecting even those who previously were doing well and had no history of emotional difficulty. The presentation will address how and why young people have been so affected by the pandemic, and we will discuss ways that parents can provide support to help their children cope more effectively. 

You can register for the event here.

Taking and Using Your Child’s Photo/Video

With #ChildSafetyWeek just behind us, we’d like to take this chance to remind our community of AISC’s student protection guidelines when documenting student life at AISC through photo and video, and using these photos/videos on social media, our website, and other internal and external communications. 

• We never use student faces with student names (first and/or last name). This includes photos, videos, and Zoom screenshots.
• We will always seek parent/guardian consent if we need to use names with student photos and videos. 

If you would like to opt out of having your child’s photo/video taken and/or used, please write to advancementdirector@aischennai.org. 

You can access our rich archive of photos here (password: raptors2021).

COMMUNITY NOTES

Reminder - Student Protection Update – Michele Ness, School Psychologist/ES Counselor

During November 14-20th, Child Safety Week was observed in schools and communities all across India. Child Safety Week is a collaborative movement to raise awareness and encourage collective action towards addressing the issue of Child Sexual Abuse.  

It is estimated that 1 billion children aged 2-17 experienced some form of physical, sexual, or emotional abuse in the past year. Research indicates that many instances of child abuse are preventable through prevention, education and adopting protocols and procedures that protect the most vulnerable members of our community. 

AISC utilizes an evidence based, multi-pronged approach focussing on prevention, education, and standardized reporting processes to ensure that our students receive annual instruction with a Student Protection curriculum that uses developmentally appropriate language and skills specific to their grade level. These lessons are delivered by the section counselors and Health teachers who have knowledge, training and expertise in best practices on Student Protection. 

This fall, the Tamil Nadu government notified all educational institutions to implement procedures outlined in The POCSO Act. The POCSO Act specifies procedural and protective measures that must be in place in all schools to prevent sexual abuse of students. Features of POCSO have been implemented in our AISC community, including updates to our Student Protection Manual, the forming of a Student Safeguarding Advisory Committee, the addition of confidential Safety Boxes on the ES/MS/HS campuses, and updating some educational components in our Student Protection Curriculum. Section specific videos on appropriate utilisation of our Safety Boxes will be shared next week in counseling lessons and Advisory and Crew times. 

All AISC employees will be required to review the new features of POCSO and sign an updated attestation as part of our Child Safeguarding policy. If you have any questions about AISC’s Student Protection plan, or the POCSO ACT and its implementation on the AISC Campus, please contact Michele Ness, Student Protection Lead  at nmichele@aischennai.org. 

If any members of the school community have concerns about a student’s safety, please contact one of AISC's counselors (ES, MS & HS), principals or the School Psychologist. 

Reminder – Returning to Campus Update

1. Complete this permission signature form. Parents MUST give permission to their child to return to campus. This has been a government SOP requirement. By completing this signature page, you indicate your willingness and interest to send your child to campus. 

2. Completed medical forms. For most grade levels, these can be completed by a parent. New students and those starting grades 3, 6, or 9 will need a physician to complete form B and then parents should email the document to the health office. All other students will need form A completed and submitted. Additional forms are needed only for students that take prescribed medication during the day while on campus and for students that have allergies or asthma. 

Form	For	Completed by:
A - Annual Medical Form	All students every year	Parent - digital form
B - Physician’s Medical Form	New students and those entering grades 3, 6, or 9	Physician - hard copy
C - Medications	Any students that take medicine during the school day.	Parent with attached hard copy of prescription
D - Allergies and Asthma	Any students that have allergies or asthma	Parent - hard copy

3. Weekly Rapid Antigen Testing. AISC has sourced PanBio COVID-19 test kits for the use of staff and students. Every person on campus will have a weekly home test conducted with kits provided by the school. These tests were recently approved by the Indian Council of Medical Research and similar tests are used throughout the world in helping screen the health of people coming on campus.  

It's important to note that these tests will not be entirely replacing the RT-PCR tests. We'll still utilize RT-PCR tests whenever a community member is symptomatic or has had close contact (such as household) exposure to a confirmed case. We will also be able to use these tests to immediately test anyone sequestered to the isolation room on campus, expediting our ability to contact trace. 

4. Every day your child is to come to campus you must attest to your child(ren)’s health. AISC has partnered with the educational software company ParentLocker to offer a way for us to monitor student, faculty, and staff health and wellness. Using this app, parents will attest daily to the health safety of their children. Everyone will need to do this each day once we are back on campus. 

Requirements to attend classes on campus

To ensure the safety of everyone on campus we have the following expectations: 

Vaccination Requirements

AISC now requires proof of vaccination for all adults (non-students) over the age of 18 in order to access the campus. This vaccination requirement will also apply to all visitors, including parents. 

If you have access to vaccines, we advise you to follow your government’s directives to get vaccinated as soon as possible. 

Distancing

AISC is ensuring safety through screening, testing of everyone on campus, vaccination requirements of adults, mask wearing, rigorous cleaning schedule, and a focus on ventilation. We will be maintaining 6 feet of distancing according to locally directed protocols. 

Contact Tracing

We conduct our own in-house contact tracing whenever there is a positive case on campus. In light of the greater transmissibility of newer strains of the virus, we will be casting a broad net in having contacts quarantine. Classmates and staff that may have been present in a classroom with a confirmed case will be asked to quarantine for 5 days and then test before returning. We may adjust as the year progresses, but will start with a very aggressive approach to minimizing community spread.      

Illness Reporting

Despite being in Virtual Learning, it is vital that AISC continues to monitor the health of our student body. While our attendance has been spectacular this year, we also need to know when a student is not well enough to participate in a day’s learning activities. 

By way of reminder: Elementary, Middle, and High School parents and/or High School students are expected to email the section offices with the reason for virtual absence when a student cannot attend to/participate in the day’s learning activities. [esoffice@asichennai.org; msoffice@aischennai.org;  hsoffice@aischennai.org] 

In a typical year, we track illnesses, fevers, and flu symptoms. Now, more than ever, it is so important that we know if a student or household member has flu symptoms and/or has tested positive for COVID-19. 

Our Health Office is open virtually. Please use us as a resource. 

Our school nurses are Jessy David, Suvitha R and Barkath B and are available on all school days from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Contact our Health Office by email on healthoffice@aischennai.org or by phone on +919840729563 / +919940635827 for any health-related questions or if you need assistance. 

Positive COVID Case Reporting

Given the contagious nature of the coronavirus, the AISC Health Office must stay informed of positive cases in our families’ households. In order to serve and protect community members, positive COVID cases need to be reported to us immediately. 

Here are a few guidelines:

• If anyone in your household -- including staff (live-in/non live-in) -- tests positive, please inform the School by writing to the section offices -- [esoffice@aischennai.org; msoffice@aischennai.org; hsoffice@aischennai.org]  or to the Health Office contact details shared above.
• All health information provided by AISC families has always been and will continue to be kept confidential and used by our Health and Planning Teams for record-keeping. When reporting positive cases within our community, the School will not use personally identifiable information. 

We thank you for your cooperation in helping us keep our community safe. With collective and personal responsibility, we can all do our part to ensure the health of our community members and to help flatten the COVID-19 curve. 

Returning to Campus Details

We continue to wait for allowance to bring our EY/KG students back to campus and to have students new to returning to campus. Here’s what you need to know: 

1. Complete the home antigen test on Friday. The form to submit it is here and will be emailed directly to parents on Friday as a reminder. (Every Friday!)
2. Bring the completed test strip in a bag to the entrance on Monday. (Every first day of school of the week!)
3. Be sure to fill in the ParentLocker Connect questions before arriving at the school. (Every day of school -- even if staying home sick!)
4. Try to arrive during the set stagger time for your (youngest) child. 

Thank you for your patience as we continue to try and fine tune systems we've never been able to try out. Things have been going very well, but we'll continue to refine and improve. 

For “return to campus” questions, please choose the appropriate contact:

• Ryan McFarland, Director of Student Life, at mryan@aischennai.org
• Lynn Schneider, Elementary School Principal, at slynn@aischennai.org
• Jennifer Bertram, Middle School Principal, at bejennifer@aischennai.org
• Greg Clinton, Director of Technologies and R&D at cgreg@aischennai.org 

If you aren’t sure what kind of question you are asking, we are happy to hear from you, no matter what! 

Reminder - Emergency Campus Closure Procedure

Should weather or other external situations force a consideration of the safety for students/families, faculty, and staff to travel to school, we could take a decision to close campus (for a day or more, depending upon the situation). 

Regarding Virtual Learning, as long as power and internet connectivity are not widely interrupted and no specific directives preclude us, please assume we will revert to a Virtual Learning Day when our campus is closed due to an emergency. If power and internet are or could be widely interrupted, we may take a decision not to hold a Virtual Learning Day. 

In general, we operate by two rules regarding travel safety communication:

1. When we have information that we believe would be relevant and essential to our community, we communicate it.
2. No news means business as usual. 

We are careful to collect information – facts and perspectives – from an array of sources. In order to assess travel safety in Chennai and to AISC and to make a decision regarding school closure, we do the following:

• Follow Tamil Nadu Government directives regarding campus closure and Virtual Learning.
• Engage timely AISC vehicle reconnaissance forays on bus routes to assess travel viability.
• Track local news sources, print and electronic, to keep abreast of the situation.
• Confer with the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Consulate and consider their assessment of the situation and/or any recommendations they may have.
• Confer with the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police and consider their assessment of the situation and/or any recommendations they may have.
• Assess the relevance of local school closures.
• Reach out to other agencies to obtain necessary information or perspective should the situation warrant. 

Regarding the timing of an announcement, we use the following guidelines:

1. If we know about a situation in advance, we may decide to communicate a campus closure a day (or more) in advance.
2. In the case of overnight weather or other unforeseen situations, we will make a decision to close the campus by 5:00 a.m.
3. Likewise, should the circumstances warrant, an early/partial day school closure (that is, an early release or late start) would be made by 5:00 a.m.
4. A decision to cancel ASAs or other after school events, will be made no later than 11:00 a.m. and communicated in a timely fashion. 

We will use all available means of communication:

Campus closure announcements will be conveyed by email, SMS, Facebook, and an announcement on our website. Further, we could activate our phone tree, if we have concerns regarding mobile phone/internet connectivity and/or if we want to make sure that all community members are accounted for. 

Also be advised of the following:

A. Once a decision to keep the campus open is made, we will stay open for students until the end of the school day, or, if a situation warrants, until it is safe for students to leave. Should a situation arise during the school day, we will engage appropriate and prompt communication. 

B. Conditions in Chennai can vary dramatically according to locality. If the school has made a decision to stay open, and a student, parent, or staff member deems it is unsafe to proceed to school because of local conditions or conditions between home and school, making a personal decision to stay home is encouraged and will be noted as excused. 

2021-2022 Data Center

Below find snapshots from our COVID-19 Data Lab. During the school year, we will update these each week (until further notice). Use this information to compliment external sources of information to understand our local context, inform decisions, and as opportunities to ask more questions. 

1. Below, Return to Campus variables remain mostly green.

Return to Campus Rubric

The variables on our Rubric have been approved by our partner International SOS and have the support of the AISC Board.

 

All of the Decision-Making Variables below must be GREEN (GO) for AISC to consider re-opening campus for students.

GO

SLOW

STOP

 

Decision-Making Variables	Explanation
Lock-Down lifted.	Tamil Nadu has relaxed most lockdown elements. Some specific and selective restrictions remain in the areas of travel, retail, commercial, recreational, industrial activities and movement within the city.
Government has lifted school closure orders.	Students in grades 1-12 were given the green light to return to campus on November 1st.
Emergency COVID Health Care.	This assessment is based on data from 9 major hospitals in Chennai. Availability of hospital COVID beds, ICU and O2 beds is high. Vacancy rates remain well above 25%.
Emergency Non-COVID Health Care.	Emergency care and access to emergency care facilities are normal.
COVID-19 Testing Levels.	Testing levels are high.
Access to Supplies and Equipment at AISC.	Our campus is well-supplied and remains prepared to be opened, when permitted.

We also keep our eyes on the following Decision-Informing Variables, among many others, every day:

Decision-Informing Variables	Explanation
New cases below 1,000 per day.	New cases began falling below 1,000 on June 12. They are now consistently around or below 200.
5 Day Moving Average of new cases over total cases is less than 2% for two incubation periods.	This remains well under 2%.
Percentage positive test rate at acceptable level for one incubation period.	(WHO 3-12%) We have been below 12% for many incubation periods.  See graph below.

2. Below, notice the curve is flat. Total cases in Chennai are now increasing very slowly as patients recover and new cases hold steady.

 
 

3. Below, daily new cases in Chennai have been below 1,000 since June 12 indicating continuing flattening levels of local spread    

4. Below, we summarize the availability of emergency COVID Care in 9 major private  hospitals in Chennai. COVID Care infrastructure and resources continue to improve and have returned to pre-surge normalcy.

5. Below the percent of positive tests relative to total tests has levelled off indicating fairly low levels of local spread.

6. Below we have 182 confirmed COVID-19 cases in our community since January 2021, with 0 active cases currently, including 1 student. Active case individuals observe a 14-day quarantine at home and require two negative tests before returning to campus. Confidentiality is strictly observed.

                       

7. Below, vaccination efforts continue in Chennai. More than 75% of the adult population of Chennai has had at least one shot.

 

Faculty and Staff Vaccinations

Health Care Workers: 100% of the school's health workers are fully vaccinated.
Faculty: 100% of our faculty are vaccinated. 99% of the school faculty are fully vaccinated.
Staff: 100% of our school staff are vaccinated. 98% are fully vaccinated. 

Mask-Wearing Matters

During this pandemic, wearing a mask is done to not only protect the wearer, but also those who are nearby.  Have you not settled on the mask you prefer, or want to know a little more about the options? Our policies on mask wearing have been that masks should be worn unless eating or drinking, should not have a valve (though some valved masks do have a filter), and should fit well.  Otherwise, we have indicated that an N95, surgical type, or cloth mask is acceptable.  But not all of these masks provide the same level of protection for the wearer or those around them.  

N95 masks - Actually, technically a “particulate filtering facepiece respirator” which is designated as N95 is 95% effective in filtering airborne particles according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). These masks are used by medical professionals to protect themselves from patients. The 95% metric depends immensely on having a good seal around the face.  A genuine N95 mask does not have ear loops, but straps that go behind the head.  In addition to being marked as N95 it also will be stamped with the NIOSH approval number. Counterfeit N95 masks have flooded the markets over the past year, as with many counterfeit items, it’s nearly impossible for anyone not involved in the supply chain to be assured of the quality.  The CDC has said that it estimates 60% of the N95 masks in the US are fake.  Even though most of the N95 masks we may have access to may not have been certified by NIOSH, they likely do filter better than the next type.  China produces masks labeled KN95, Europe has FFP2, and South Korea produces KF94 (all of these may have ear loops).  This is redundant, but research has repeatedly pointed to the importance of a very tight fit in order to achieve the 94-95% efficacy that is claimed for the genuine respirators. 

Disposable surgical masks - These have been found to be about 80-85% effective in filtering airborne particles when the mask is snug to the wearer’s face.  This infographic compares these masks to N95.  Achieving a good fit with these masks can be difficult and may require knotting the ear loops, tucking the mask material, doubling up the masks or wearing a cloth mask over the surgical mask.

Cotton cloth masks - A few layers of cotton forming a mask blocks about 50% of the aerosols compared to the 85% for surgical masks and 95% for N95 type. As with the other masks, getting 50% largely depends on having the mask fit the face of the wearer well.  It’s possible that an ugly home-made mask that fits very well could be providing better protection than a higher quality mask which is not worn properly. 

This is an opportunity to point to the hierarchy of controls again.  In this diagram the reliability of the effectiveness of the safety controls decreases as we move downward.  At the bottom we have that individual responsibility to wear a mask properly.  We have the administrative requirement to wear a mask.  But because those layers of our swiss cheese may have holes, we’ve implemented engineering controls to ensure the aerosols inside are flushed out with our open windows and doors, removed by HEPA filtration, and bombarded by UV treatment in our air handlers.
