AIS Friday Flash
Friday, June 29, 2018
Happy Summer!
We hope all of you are enjoying your summer break with friends, families, vacationing, or staycationing! We have been having a blast with our summer campers and are well underway planning a fantastic 2018-2019 school year and are so glad you will be a part of it.
Welcome Incoming AIS Community Members
For new families, our Friday Flash is a newsletter we send out weekly during the academic year. During the summer we will send it the last Friday of June and July (and other special editions as needed) with updates and a look ahead at Save the Dates and other information for the upcoming school year. The Flash will get to be a wonderful resource for you so we'd like to take the time to welcome you to it!
Did you know we have a record 43 new students and 27 new families joining AIS next year! Welcome the following new families to AIS: McCoy, Cruz, Dehart, Falli, Kim, Lamphear, Pudenz, Tunks, Bailey-Virgil, Carter, Conway, Miller, Mitchell, Akanplogan, Garcia, Ross, Guillet, Saunders, Moreau, Peraldi, Casey, Mendez, Briot, Coltat, Mesenge, Connor, and Cruz families.
And another welcome to our awesome new faculty members: Ms. Coqk, Ms. McKenzie, Ms. Rysak, Mr. Paulot, Ms. Pieriboni, Ms. Olano, Ms. Petterson, Ms. Denotter, and Ms. Iglesias. We can't wait to have you join our community. We will share more detailed highlights of our new team members at the beginning of the school year.
