Dear Students & Families,

I want to wish those families who celebrate Rosh Hashanah, Shanah tovah. I also want to celebrate fall; we have made it to October and the weather could not be more beautiful. We have a busy weekend ahead: the Aspen Flight Academy has its annual fundraiser and community event; we have the Chris Severy Cross Country Invitational, and the College Fair is Sunday. I look forward to seeing you at one or more of these incredible events. On another note, I want to let everyone know that Becky Oliver is out on medical leave. She is doing well and getting better every day. Please be patient as I work to return all of the calls and emails. We are all seeing her healing vibes and cannot wait to see her back at school!

Last week, the director of The Rocky Mountain Association of IB World Schools (IBARMS) visited ASD. Tour guides, Julia Diaz and Mykenzie Roy, shared about AHS and their IB student experience.

Attention IB Diploma Junior Students & Parents: You are invited to attend a virtual Q&A about the IB Diploma journey. Please join us on October 15th, 5:00-6:00 PM.

The program will offer 8 weekly in-person meetings at the Aspen Institute’s Bayer Center, with Andrew Travers leading the exploration of Bayer's unique art and design and the distinct focus on the artist-designer's vital role in society. The program will include in-depth tours, studio time, and design projects to address community needs.
