Transitions are never easy and are especially challenging when it’s to a whole new land with unfamiliar languages, people and governmental systems.  To help solve some of these mysteries, we have invited an expert to come and give us a talk on the important pointers in the years of transition.

Prabha Srinivasan, of Ventura Pranas, Chennai (and a new AISC parent herself!) will discuss pertinent aspects like Residency Rules in India (NRI, RNOR, ROR, TRC), investment related decisions(do expats need Aadhar and PAN cards and how to get them), expatriation of funds from India outward, etc. She will also briefly address the taxation of Indian income in the US and UK.

We invite you to attend the talk from 2:30 – 3:30 pm during our PCA meeting on Monday, September 3, 2018 and ask her any questions that are on your mind. 





Dear Parents,

Please come and view our new books on Monday, September 3 from 8:00-9:30! Our library is usually open to parents only before and after school, but this is a special viewing time so that you can see what is new this year in the library. If you are unable to come Monday morning, please know that you can also come after school that day (3:30-5:00) to view the books as well. There is a PCA meeting beforehand that afternoon and this might make a great opportunity to visit the library after. 

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank our parent book ordering teams. Thank you for helping us create a wonderful collection of books for our students!

Kind regards,
The Library Team
