Dear Parents and Students,
Below are a few reminders for Term 3.
Compass
Please check Compass regularly as we rely on Compass to communicate with our students and parents. Lesson plans, homework, assessments and information about the subject can be found on Compass. Chronicle entries written by teachers give you an indication on how you are performing at school.
In regards to detention, parents will be notified through Compass. After school detention takes place on Wednesdays from 3:30 p.m. – 4:20 p.m.
Parent Teacher Conference
Parent Teacher conference will commence on the last day of Term 3. We highly encourage parents to meet with each teacher to discuss about their child’s progress. We are eager to work with parents to ensure the development of each student here at AIA.
Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying is defined as an “aggressive intentional act carried out by group or individual, using electronic forms of contact” (Smith et al. 2008). We are connected 24/7 through our devices, be it smartphones or laptops. Even though there are great benefits to social networking sites, negative engagement with these sites can result it cyberbullying.
Some forms of Cyberbullying include;
Sending mean texts or direct message to someone or in chat groups.
Pranking someone's cell phone.
Hacking into someone's gaming or social networking profile.
Being rude or mean to someone in an online space.
Spreading secrets or rumours about people online.
Pretending to be someone else to spread hurtful messages online.
Studies have shown that cyberbullying negatively impact teenagers. If a child is a victim of cyberbullying, we highly encourage parents to ensure that he or she gets the required support. Cyberbullying is not tolerated here at AIACSC. Any forms of cyberbullying conducted during school hours will be investigated and students will receive the necessary consequences. Cooperation from parents is very much appreciated.
Thank you.
Ms. Tanisha Raj
