Dear AITE Family,
As the 2024-25 school year comes to a close, I want to thank you for your support throughout the year. It was a successful year that ended on a high note with yesterday’s beautiful graduation ceremony.
For those of you returning, please check the AITE website next week for information about summer reading and AP summer assignments. As a reminder, if you need to drop off or return something to school, please contact the main office beforehand to see when it is open.
Returning families will receive information about the start of the 2025-26 school year beginning the week of August 18.
I wish all of our students and families a safe, restful, and joyful summer. We look forward to welcoming everyone back for another great school year!

Congratulations to State Champion Maggie Fleischer, who won the statewide American Legion Oratorical Competition in Meriden this past weekend. Maggie will represent the State of Connecticut in May in the National Championship. The contest requires students to give an 8 to 10 minute speech about the Constitution without the use of any notes.
Principal Rivera Named 2024-25 Outstanding PLTW Administrator
AITE students Ava Lesser and Nora Amsellem successfully raised over $50,000 this past school year for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). Their initial goal was to raise an ambitious $35,000; however, by the time their fundraising campaign concluded, they well surpassed their goal, raising a total of $53,274 from an estimated 750 different donors.
Because Ava and Nora surpassed the $50,000 mark, they have been rewarded with a research grant and were recognized as one of the top 8 teams in the Fairfield/Westchester area. They will have the opportunity to direct the funds they raised towards a specific research initiative within LLS and have been asked to share their materials with the National Team to be used in their nationwide efforts to raise money and awareness.
