If you are going to pick your child up early for an appointment, give the office a call in advance or send a note to the office and let us know what time you will picking them up. The front office staff will have them in the office waiting for you when you get here!

If you are going to pick your child up at 2pm or after, you will need to pick them up from the car rider line. We apologize for the inconvenience. Dismissal is a busy time in the office and our student safety is our #1 priority.

** Anyone picking up a student from school must have a photo ID

Every Monday (6th grade) Friday (5th grade) at AISW, each student will be logging in to Power School to check their grades and to make sure they do not have any missing assignments.

They will be recording their grades on a sheet like the one below. If they have any missing assignments, they will write down those missing assignments and make sure they have what they need to complete that assignment. This sheet will then be placed in their yellow gold take home folder. Every Friday we hope that you will ask your child to also see this folder to see their grades and to make sure they dont have any missing assignments. If they do, please make sure they get these completed and turned in asap.We ask that you initial/ sign next to the date at the top of each column of grades each week after reviewing the sheet with your child.

Also, remember as their parent to check Power Parent frequently to monitor their grades and any missing assignments.

With the weekly grade checks we are working to teach each student how to be accountable for their grades and all assignments. Thank you for your help and support with this.
