Dear AITE Family,
Grades for Quarter 3 will be posted to PowerSchool by Friday, April 24 at 12:00 am. We have now completed the first week of the final quarter of the school year. This final stretch includes many events that we look forward to celebrating together as a school community.
Graduation has been scheduled for Wednesday, June 17 at 4:00 pm. Seniors received information about the rehearsal and ceremony during a Period 2 assembly held yesterday. Counselors also shared important end of year information during that time. Both presentations have been sent to seniors through their school Gmail accounts.
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.

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.
