Issue 24: February 18, 2022

From the Director

Dear BAIS Families,

It has been quite the week, hasn’t it? Thank you for your continued support, flexibility, and understanding as we work hard to get through this current stage together. It appears that things are changing every day and that more and more updates related to cases within our community are being sent out. Even so, I ask that you be encouraged! We believe the challenges we currently face are temporary. We look forward to getting back on campus as soon as possible. Your strength and diligence as parents is incredible. I am continually in awe of the resilience and perseverance shown by our teachers and students. Thank you.

Now that the majority of our students are learning at home during this current period, as much as your work schedules allow, try to spend time with them (virtually or in person, depending on your situation) and remind them that you care for them. Remind them that they are doing a great job. Remind them about how they are loved and that God sees them where they are. No matter their age, whether we are in the midst of a pandemic or not, this type of real encouragement makes a difference in their lives.

As we continue to look for ways to better carry out tracing procedures and the identification of close-contacts, please know that the school’s goals are to minimize disruptions, increase learning, and maintain a healthy and consistent environment for your child. We will be sure to communicate any necessary updates in the coming days and weeks as new information is learned. Please stay safe and may God continue to have his hand over our community.

Together,
Mr. Cantrall

Made to Change

Science Class Update

Hi BAIS Family!

Currently, the environmental science class is learning about pollution and how it impacts our environment. As written in the Bible, we (children and adults) are the stewards of Earth (Gen 1:28), so it’s our responsibility to take care of it. It is good to instill a sense of love for the environment from an early age, so the environmental science class created e-books about pollution for children, which have audio versions too. Here are the links to the ebooks. Enjoy!

After School Activities

BAIS Eagles,

Due to the uncertainty of when the government is going to lift the suspension for the extracurricular activities, the Athletic Department is cancelling all Quarter 3 clubs. We will work on reimbursements and will notify you personally when they are ready.

If you have any questions please email Hani Ramappa at hani@baisedu.org or WA +62 812 1448 1338
