AIM Higher Weekly

Principal's Message
Dear AIMS Families;
We are entering Week 8 of the first marking period, and this week brings opportunities to celebrate our students while keeping our focus on a strong finish. Please take a few minutes with your child to review their grades in Infinite Campus, discuss any missing assignments, and identify where they may need additional support. If you have questions about your child’s progress, please reach out to their teachers so we can work together on next steps.
This week, we have our first Tier 1 trip to Thrillz for students who have met our Tier 1 behavior expectations. We are excited to recognize students whose daily choices contribute to a positive school environment. Please continue talking with your child about what it means to demonstrate our AIMS values in classrooms, hallways, the cafeteria, and throughout the school day.
This Thursday evening, we will celebrate our AVID students at AVID Contract Signing Night. This event recognizes the commitment students and families are making to academic growth, organization, and preparation for future opportunities. We look forward to celebrating this milestone with our AVID families!
As we move further into the school year, consistent attendance and arriving on time remain essential. Each day gives students opportunities to learn, ask questions, receive feedback, and build connections. When your child needs to be absent, please help them connect with their teachers about missed learning and assignments.
Thank you for celebrating your child’s successes and helping them take the next step when something is challenging. Whether that means completing an assignment, asking for help, or making a positive choice, those daily actions help our students AIM Higher.
Warmly,
Cristina Kalesse
Principal, Alexis I. duPont Middle School
