Dear AITE Family,

Happy New Year and welcome back. I hope that you and your families had a restful and enjoyable break. It has been wonderful to see our students return this week re-energized, focused, and ready to begin 2026 together.

As we move through the first week of the new year, we are also entering the final stretch of the first semester. This is an important time for students to reflect on their progress, stay organized, and finish strong. We encourage families to check in with students about assignments, assessments, and overall well-being as we approach the end of the semester. Teachers are actively supporting students in setting goals, addressing gaps, and preparing for the end of the semester.

This is also a natural moment for students to reflect on their learning habits and growth. We continue to emphasize strong attendance, punctuality, and active engagement in class, as these habits make a meaningful difference in student success.

Please continue to monitor the Parent Portal of PowerSchool for updated grades and reach out to teachers or counselors with any questions or concerns. Our staff remains committed to partnering with you to ensure that every student is supported academically and socially.

Thank you, as always, for your continued partnership and support. We look forward to a productive and successful start to the year.

Warm regards,

Ms. Rivera

Principal

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.
