Communication Guidelines at AISM

We also want to share a little about communication guidelines and expectations. We are always seeking to streamline communications at the school to ensure that anyone with questions can get them answered quickly and effectively. The best way to do that is to create the habit of communicating first with the person who is closest to your issue or question and is therefore in the best position to assist you. We believe that by following these guidelines, it will help resolve issues and answer questions more quickly. 

In practice, this habit looks like this:

• If you have a question about a class or course, ask the relevant subject teacher / learning advisor directly.
• If you have a question about a social or emotional issue, ask your child’s advisor or the appropriate counselor: 
  • Heather Cronk ([email protected]) for the Primary School
  • Cristina Siquela ([email protected]) or Stephanie Costa ([email protected]) for the Secondary School.  
• If you have a question about some aspect of the International Baccalaureate program, please ask the teacher or one of our IB Coordinators:
  • Kristen Prideaux ([email protected]) for the Primary Years Programme (PYP, Grades ELC-5), 
  • Peter Hennigar ([email protected]) for the Middle Years Programme (MYP, Grades 6-10),
  • Sandeep Lyall ([email protected]) for the Diploma Programme (DP, Grades 11-12).
• If you have a question that is more general in nature or have an issue that was not resolved at the previous levels, please contact the relevant division principal: 
  • Eloïse Engel ([email protected]) in the Primary School 
  • Kevin Brawn ([email protected]) in the Secondary School
• If you have a question that is more school-wide in nature or the principals were unable to answer your question or resolve an issue you have, then please contact either us, the Communications Team or the Director, Dr. Russ Menard ([email protected]) and he’ll be happy to help.

Following these steps will go a long way toward streamlining communications throughout the AISM community. By the way, if you don’t know the email address of the person you are trying to contact, our email system uses the following convention: [email protected]   

As always, if you struggle to locate information about any area of our school community, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We are happy to help!
