ALIS recently launched a new mobile app to help students, parents, and community members know what is happening on campus from their phones. Most families use their phones as a primary means of communication, so we've created an app that is custom-built to your school for smartphones. On the app, your students, parents, and community can read the latest announcements, locate staff contact information, review upcoming events, and find important documents. The ALIS app is available to download free from the Apple App Store or the Google Play store.

ALIS Grandperson's Day is Friday, September 25th at 1:00pm. Students will be coming home with more information soon.
See you there!

Check out what's coming up at ALIS for the month of September!
