Thank you for supporting your students through these warm and busy days. As we work to finish our incredible year together, we are taking time to celebrate our students’ growth and achievement. Look for photos from our Vision Awards, Mission Recognition Awards and Senior celebrations in this newsletter in the four weeks.

Events At-A-Glance: 2021-2022
Schedule for the next four weeks:
Lunch Order form April May 9 - 13
Here is the Lunch order form for HS students for May 9 - May 13. It needs to be completed by Sunday at noon.
IB and AP exams are underway
Students are excused from classes (are on study leave) during their exam session and for the half day prior to the exam. Your child has access to a study leave document detailing when they are excused from classes.
Please view here a combined AP and IB exam schedule. AP exam takers need to arrive at school at 7:45 am for an 8:00 am start. IB Exam takers arrive at 8:00 am for an 8:30 am start.
While AISC does have a holiday May 2nd, AP and IB exams will be held as scheduled, on campus.
Once an AP or IB exam occurs, the class ends, and your child does not need to attend that class - the class period becomes study leave. If your child has study leave, they can arrive later at school or depart early. Students may not re-enter school after departing. Students must check in with the HS office upon late arrival and before early departure. If you would like your child to remain on campus for the full school day, please write to Ms. Sunita in the HS office so that we know your child should be expected on campus 8:30-3:30 each day.
