Newcomers Coffees - August 28, 2018, 8:30-10:00
These informal informational get-togethers for new parents are organized twice a year in the AIS Theater: once in the fall for new parents and again after winter break for parents whose children join us mid-term. It is a great place to meet the school administrators and other new parents and ask questions about life at AIS and in Vienna.
