Expectations of Shared MS/HS Spaces
One of AISC’s core values is Responsibility and, as high school students, we are role models for younger students. This means that when we share spaces with Middle School students we have a responsibility to support them. We can do this before school and during lunch in the i-hub and cafeteria by putting away all technology including phones, i-pads and laptops. We can also do this before school and during lunch in the gym and fields by wearing athletic shoes and not Crocs or other open-toed sandals. Thus, this is a reminder that the expectation is that all high school students follow the rules that are in place for the Middle School regarding technology and the wearing of athletic shoes in these locations and times.
Student Voices Wanted: Phone Use in High School
We want your voice in shaping how phones are used at AISC.
Join us for a student input session on Monday, August 25th at lunch in Hall of Light
Lunch will be provided for all who attend.
This is your chance to share ideas and help us build a fair, clear, and student-centered approach to phone use at school and on trips.
Spaces are limited — sign up today to make sure your voice is heard!
Titles and Treats
Next Tuesday morning – 26th August 7:45 am. Students and Teachers come to the library to see the new books that we have purchased and prepared for you this new year.
