Principal’s Notes
22 November
Dear Parents,
Happy Thanksgiving! We hope that you and your families have stayed dry and safe through the rains. When we return to school on Monday 26 November, we will resume school as usual on day A2 of our schedule. This week, all middle school students attended the R.I.S.E. (resilience, innovation, service and entertainment). Two of the speakers represent organizations middle school students will be able to contribute to during our SEVAI days in December and January.
Trimester Reports and MAP Scores
Trimester reports will be distributed on Thursday 29 November. This is a change of date from the published date on the community calendar. Please see 2 November blog post for an explanation for the change in date. This year, we will be sending home paper copies of the trimester report. After the distribution of the paper copy, you will receive an email with directions on how to access your child’s trimester report electronically through PowerSchool. The email will also include directions for accessing your child’s MAP scores on PowerSchool.
Early Release Wednesday
On Wednesday 28 November we will have an Early Release day. Students are expected to depart campus in a timely and organized fashion upon dismissal at 2:00 pm. We appreciate your patience with traffic on these days as all three sections are picking up students at the same time. In preparation, please plan on allowing longer time for entry and exit to the school at release time. Lunch will be served as usual in the cafeteria. Please note that the iHub will be open to provide an air conditioned waiting space until 2:40 pm in case drivers are delayed. Food services in the iHub will close at 1:50 pm.

Time is running outto sign up for the first session of the Community Summit this upcoming Wednesday. Over the course of three early release days, we will be exploring the horizons of wellbeing at AISC. To make this a truly community-driven endeavour we need parents and students to join all faculty and administrative staff to envision the future of wellbeing at AISC. Together we will:
·Discover what we are doing best to nurture wellbeing at AISC - November 28
·Envision bold new possibilities for the future - December 12
·Design for excellence and construct the future of wellbeing at AISC - January 23
The sessions will run from 2:30-5:00 pm in the Gym. Parents and Students are asked to RSVP for this event here.
