Dear SILC Students, Parents, Teachers and Volunteers:
Hope you are all staying safe and warm.
Hope you are all staying safe and warm.
1. Snow policy: In the case of snow, it is possible that SILC may be canceled on some saturdays. Please watch out the email communications, web site updates and phone messages from your language teachers. If you have any doubt, it is also encouraged to call any of the SILC board member.
2. We are in the process of creating a SILC directory where the details of your family with home address will be published. If you do not want to have your details published, please let us know by Dec 16, 2011
3. With the onset of winter, all of us come to school wearing heaving coats. We request you to keep all coats and personal effects in the North West corner of the cafeteria and keep the tables in the main hall free for snacks
4. The SILC mela has been pushed back to January 21, 2012. We will have regular classes on December 17, 2011. Please stand by for more info about the SILC mela.
5. We are sure that you enjoy drinking the hot tea served every SILC school day. The preparation of tea and other ancillary activities require a lot of volunteer driven effort and we alway welcome more folks to pitch in to help. SILC is a volunteer driven organization and we welcome you to join us for providing assistance wherever you can. We would definitely love to have more folks volunteer for preparing the tea / washing the tea thermos, assist in laying out the snacks, cleaning up and carrying out other ancillary activities. Please see any SILC board member to volunteer
6. Of late the SILC board has been getting requests from new families for enrollment of their children. We would like to draw everyone's attention to the SILC policy that registrations close within a few weeks of open enrollment. We do this to make sure that the progress during various classes is not affected with the addition of new students mid way during the school year. If you have family and friends who wish to enroll in SILC, please advise them to watch out for the next round of registration in August 2012.
