AIS West - August 2020
Welcome Back to School!
Welcome to the 2020/2021 school year! We hope that you were able to enjoy your summer and are relaxed and ready for a new year of learning.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we are doing everything we can to resume in person learning in a safe, responsible manner when the time is right. In the meantime, we will continue to offer rigorous, caring and engaging instruction virtually. If you have not done so already, please review the REVISED Secondary School Re-Opening Guide that was sent out on last week.
All parents are encouraged to attend our Virtual Open House events. We will review school policies, introduce new procedures and answer any questions you may have. Student Open House events are mandatory.
Do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or concerns. We are here to support all parents and students, now more than ever, during this time of uncertainty.
