Week 7 in the Middle!

Spirit Week:
We have had a great week in the Middle School, building spirit all week long with themed special dress days. Students participated with Pajama Day, Crazy hair/socks Day, Dress like a teacher/student day, Twin Day and finally AISB Blazer Day. Our MS Blazer Spirit Club held a mini-pep rally at lunch on Tuesday to cheer on all of our athletes who are competing this weekend in:
MS Girls Soccer - Bucharest
MS Boys Soccer - Moscow
MS Tennis - Prague
MS Cross-country - Vienna
Best of luck to all of our MS athletes and coaches this weekend!!

Progress Reporting in the Middle:

Middle School teachers have been busy finalizing student progress for our first report of Semester 1 which aims to go live on Veracross on Friday, October 16th. Teachers will be reporting on our Habits of Learning and the most recent and consistent progress relative to the standards for each subject area. With the support of our incredible AISB Tech team, we have been finalizing the template for our progress report and value your feedback as to the layout of information on the report. Please keep in mind that this first report is a snapshot in time relative to your child's progress and the grades will naturally fluctuate over the course of the semester. We will be reporting out again just before Parent Teacher conferences in November. Should you require more detailed information about your child's progress, we encourage you to log in to Veracross at any time to view subject specific data. In addition, please also feel free to contact teachers directly should you have questions about student progress.

Homework Club:

For those students requiring additional support, Mrs. Nora Fleming runs a HW Club during lunch from Monday to Thursday. Students should contact Mrs. Fleming directly to make arrangements for extra help.
