AIS COMMUNITIES
Alcoa Intermediate
Purpose and Intent
The AIS Communities will create a unified, trusted culture among the students and faculty of AIS. Students and teachers will be placed into one of three communities within the school. The three communities are all named after communities of Alcoa and have positive character attributions tied to them. These communities will foster a sense of belonging and encourage positive LEADER character traits for all students. Students and teachers can earn points for their community by exhibiting exceptional behavior and leadership qualities. When a community reaches their benchmark for their earned points, they will receive a community reward. The community with the most earned points at the end of each semester will be crowned Community Champions.
Springbrook Community of Achievement
