From the Secondary Principal

Dear Parents,

It was great to spend last Thursday-Saturday at the Middle School Friendship Games in Cochabamba. Our competitors did an amazing job and represented our school well! The students worked hard and gave it their best, and really enjoyed their time together. We look forward to hosting the High School Friendship Games here at ACS November 16-18 where we will be able to provide the same warm hospitality that was shown to us by our friends at Cochabamba Cooperative School.

We look forward to seeing all of you this Thursday for Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences. Middle and High School teachers will be available in the Secondary Library 8:00-11:00 and 12:00-3:00 for brief (5-7 minute) conferences, and you can choose to meet with any teachers during those times. No classes will occur on that day, and conferences will not be available between 11:00 and 12:00. Those needing longer conferences are welcome to schedule a meeting on another day/time.

Most of you know that Carolina Soliz joined us last month as our new Secondary Assistant. Please contact her via email (carolina.soliz@acslp.org) or phone with any questions or to report an absence. Regarding absences, if your child will be away from school for a multi-day event or trip, please ask them to pick up a Pre-Arranged Absence Form from Ms. Soliz and then take it to each of their teachers to develop a plan to complete any missed work prior to the absence.

From the Secondary Principal

Dear parents, With only a few weeks to go in the school year, students are busily preparing for end-of-year presentations of learning. Although it will look different in each class, these presentations and projects are an important way for students to pull together their learning in a meaningful way. Presentations of learning, project completion, and some exams will occur during the last days of school, including Monday, June 3 and Tuesday, June 4. Please be sure that your child is at school and ready to learn every day until our last day of the year, Wednesday, June 5. This time of year is always busy, with performances and activities celebrating the end of a productive year. Unfortunately, due to some logistical complications, HS Prom, originally scheduled for this Friday, has been canceled. Our student leaders hope to improve and bring this event back next year. However, we are excited to be sending off our seniors during our Senior Farewell event next Wednesday, and are busy planni...

Dear Parents, This is a busy and stressful time for many of us. Middle School students are finishing up MAP testing, and many High School students will take AP exams over the next two weeks. To help students do well on these important assessments, be sure that they get plenty of rest and eat healthy meals. Our students have worked hard to get to this point and we want them to feel prepared and able to do their absolute best! As we near the end of the year, students are starting to pull together their learning for final projects and presentations. Please help them be successful by ensuring that they arrive at school on time every day. Students should arrive at school no later than 8:10 to be in class on time. All teachers will be providing critical learning opportunities right up until the last full day of school (Tuesday, June 4), and being absent or late to class makes it difficult for them to make good use of their time.  Be sure to mark your calendars for two student performance...

Augeri Welcome Message

Dear ACS Community, My name is Steve Augeri, and I am pleased to be joining the community as the interim Secondary School Principal for the remainder of this academic year. Just a bit about me:  My wife, Tiffany, and I are originally from Connecticut and have been international educators for the last 19 years.  We both cut our teeth as secondary social studies teachers for several years in Connecticut and Virginia before making the momentous decision to join the international teaching ranks way back in 2004.  In that year, we took up teaching posts at the American International School in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and life, as they say, has never been quite the same.  Following 4 years in Dhaka, we accepted teaching positions at Dubai American Academy, where I also served as the head of the social studies team. In 2009, I made the transition out of the classroom and into school leadership at the American International School of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where I served as the Dir...
