Administration

Dear AITE Community,

The School Climate Survey opened on Monday, March 10 and will close on Friday, March 28.  Students, staff, and families are able to take the survey on a cell phone or computer, using the QR code that was sent to you on March 10. Your feedback will help us maintain what we are doing well and also help us make improvements where needed to ensure everyone feels welcome, safe and valued. Thank you to all of the families and staff who have already completed the survey.

It’s hard to believe that first day of spring was yesterday.  The last day of the 3rd quarter is April 1st, and our spring recess is just a few weeks away.

Have a nice weekend!

Sincerely,

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.

From the superintendent’s weekly message:

It’s almost spring musical season in Stamford Public Schools! Stamford High’s Strawberry Hill Players and Westhill’s Northstar Playmakers are hard at work rehearsing two Broadway musical classics for the community’s enjoyment. The Strawberry Hill Players will present 42nd Street from April 25 through May 3, while the Northstar Playmakers will present Pippin from April 26 through May 3. Tickets for both shows are on sale now. Don’t miss the chance to enjoy two nights of musical theater courtesy of our very talented students!
