Dear AITE Family,
I hope this message finds you well as we wrap up the first full week of May and enter the final stretch of the school year.
This week, we celebrated National Teacher Appreciation Week, and on behalf of the AITE leadership team, I want to once again extend a heartfelt thank you to our incredible teachers. Your dedication, passion, and daily impact are recognized and appreciated, not just this week, but throughout the entire year.
This week was also National School Nurses Week, and I would like to give special thanks to Ms. Cinthia Vera, our dedicated school nurse, for her unwavering support and care for our students and staff.
I also would like to thank our amazing PTSO, not only for today’s thoughtful luncheon and the massage therapists who helped make our staff feel extra appreciated, but for the many ways you continuously support the entire AITE community. Your efforts truly make a difference!
Finally, I would like to wish all the mothers and mother figures in our community a Happy Mother's Day. May your weekend be filled with love, appreciation, and well-deserved celebration.
Warm regards,
Ms. Rivera

Absence Documentation
Written documentation is required from a parent/guardian whenever a student is absent from school. It can be sent in one of two ways:
1. by email to AITEattendance@stamfordps.org from the parent or
2. a written note from the parent sent directly to the office
The documentation must contain the date(s) of and the reason for the student's absence from school. If this documentation is not received within 10 days of the absence, the absence will be considered unexcused. Parents should contact their child's school counselor regarding the collection of homework assignments if their child will be out for several days.

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.
AITE Students Take Top Spots at History Day Competition
In what has become an annual AITE tradition, five students placed in the top four of the National History Day Fairfield Regional Contest: Grace DiGiacomo, 2nd place website category, Kavin Gnanavel, 3rd place website category, Jason Chien, 1st place documentary category, Jessica Sharma, Honorable Mention documentary category, and Toni Brown, Honorable Mention paper category. These students will move on to represent AITE at the State competition.
