Dear AISK Families,
Exams
Semester 1 exams will be held on January 15 - 17, 2014. These exams are for Grades 8 through 12. Grades 6 & 7 students will continue with their regular schedule during this time. The timing is in line with the end of 2nd Quarter and Semester 1.
Please see the schedule for the exams attached. It is important for families to know that exams end on each of these days at 12:45pm and students are expected to leave campus no later than 1:00pm. They should use these afternoons to prepare for their exams on the following day.
Please note that Semester 1 grades incorporate Quarter grades and the Exam grade and it is the final Semester grade that is placed on the students' transcripts.
JCDC Award Ceremony
The JCDC will be giving out the awards and medals to all artists at the Conference center in downtown Kingston. The ceremony will take place on Sunday Dec. 22nd at 3:00pm. Students who received awards need to make every effort to be there to receive their award/medal. AISK has excelled and we want to be sure that students are all there to accept this honor of being named top school.
Remind your friends and family that this is open to the public so that they may come and support you and the AISK.
Additionally, this excellent exhibition continues throughout this week. So please pass by at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Susan Canobie
MS/HS Principal
