YOUR MONTHLY GUIDE TO THE SCHOOL NEWS, INFORMATION AND EVENTS

Welcome Parents back

on Campus! Starting Monday, November

20, parents will be able to

enter campus. Each person will

check in with the guard upon

entry - with a list for now, until

ID cards are ready.

Parents are asked to stay

behind the imaginary line

created by cones about ⅓ of

the way across the circle.

Children must be with their

parents after dismissal time.

We miss having parents on

campus, and also ask that

parents continue to make

appointments to see teachers

or administrators. We are glad

the informal interactions inside

the gate can resume!

Construction

Inspection by Dr. Mohammad Latif, Lead

Engineering Officer of USAID

Office of American Schools

and Hospitals Abroad (ASHA).

We were honored to have

Dr. Latif with us for two days

inspecting our Wing project.

Dr. Latif declared the AST

USAID Wing Construction

Project 100% in compliance.

He said the state of construc-

tion site is exemplary in safety,

order, and quality control.

He wrote: Strength test data

provided by AST on the spot

at noon during ASHA engineer

visit. AST construction with QA/

QC testing is on track and

would serve an example for

others to follow.

During his visit, Dr. Latif made it

clear that the AST Project is to

represent American Values -

designed to open minds and

open horizons. He says AST is

seen as a success story, and

says there is a lot of potential

here, with hope for further

future development of pro-

grams for the benefit of all.

The USAID Funded AST Wing - a 21st Century Learning

Center for all Ages - is rapidly approaching a reality. Teachers,

students, and parents are all invited to review the plans and help

determine the development of each room.
