AIS West - April 2021
Dear parents and students,
Welcome to Term 4! We are now in the home stretch. We have a few remaining days before a week off for Spring Break. Enjoy this time to relax, recharge and refocus for the final weeks of the school year.
Classes will continue with the Hybrid Learning schedule during the month of Ramadan. Class times will remain the same with a 1:30 - 1:50 staggered daily dismissal. Office hours will be reduced to 30 minutes every Sunday - Wednesday afternoon from 2:00 - 2:30.
Huge thanks to everyone who participated in the MSA survey we sent out last week. Your input is instrumental in brining positive, transformational change to AIS West. We greatly value your candid feedback.
On behalf of the entire AIS West family, we wish you a blessed holy month of Ramadan.
Your partners in education,
Mark Tennant
Secondary School Principal
Chelsea Armstrong
Middle School Assistant Principal
Reham Sherif
Middle School Administrative Assistant
