There
are assembly-presentations by each grade level every year, including
special celebrations. Students perform for their fellow students and
the parents of that class in Russian and English.
San Francisco is such a
beautiful place to live, with so many places to go. Students extend
their learning in the classroom by visiting sites and participating
in activities outside the school. So field trips are very much a
part of the academic program at RAIS.
Teachers, assisted by other
teachers or parents, organize visits to places of interest in the
San Francisco and Bay Area during the school day. Tuition fees do
not cover the field trip expenses.
1. Class Parties and
Celebrations. At
certain times of the year, e.g. just before the Winter break and
just before the Summer Holiday, teachers may organize celebrations
either on or off campus.
Teachers may request help
from parents on these occasions, but the teachers accept
responsibility for the organization of the celebrations and
supervision of the children during normal school hours.
2. Birthday Parties.
If you wish you may
help to organize a low-key recognition of your child’s birthday
through your child’s teacher of the day. A healthy snack is
preferable.
