AP Exam Pre-Administration Session Monday or Tuesday - a Note from Mr. Malone

All AISC students signed up for an Advanced Placement (AP) exam MUST attend an AP pre-administration session either Monday, April 22nd or Tuesday, April 23rd, after school in Madras Hall. This session will take approximately 45 minutes.

Next Early Release Wednesday

The next Early Release Wednesday will be on April 24th. Students are expected to depart campus in a timely and organized fashion upon dismissal at 2:00 pm unless participating in the Wellness Summit. 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. For our Middle and High School students, a hot lunch will be served. 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.
