Upcoming Conferences
Bernajean Porter Visit - November 7 - 11
World renowned digital storytelling guru, Bernajean Porter, will be visiting AISC as an author/artist in residence to work with our learners.

For this visit she will focus her time in grades 3, 5, and 7 and will offer some after-school professional learning opportunities as well. You will see in your Google Calendar the after school professional learning sessions. These include,
