AISM Communication Channels

We are constantly striving to improve communication - especially as some community members feel like we communicate too much while others believe we could communicate more! And although we recognise that it is almost impossible to please everyone, we wanted to share that there are several ways to stay informed about - and celebrate - AISM news, information, reminders and upcoming events. 

The weekly AISM Bulletin is our main medium to keep our families informed on such things as the day to day happenings on campus, before & after school activities, school events, helpful resources, and important dates and reminders. This is emailed directly to your inbox each Friday (if you hear of people who don’t see it, please remind them to check spam/junk). 
The AISM website is in the process of being streamlined and updated but is a great place to find information about the school, the faculty and staff, the curriculum documentation and much, much more.
The AISM calendar, hosted on the Community Portal and linked on the AISM Bulletin each week, has all the upcoming community events including sports, meetings, holidays etc in one place.
The PTA organised WhatsApp groups, for parents at each grade level, are a great way to share information between parents. If you haven’t already joined, please reach out and we will share the specific Grade Level link(s) with you!
We also have various social media platforms such as the AISM Facebook page, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter and a YouTube channel for you to ‘follow’, ‘like’ and share with family & friends. Some of the more commonly-used hashtags to follow would include #aismlearns, #aismcelebrates, #aismcommunity - but there’s so much more too!
And finally, there are several systems that are used across AISM. Knowing how to access these systems will really help you stay in control! Essentially there are only four systems that you, as families, need to be aware of:
  1. OpenApply: the admissions and essentially student information system for AISM.
