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.
Ready to join a warm, supportive school family? ❤️ ALIS is accepting applications through November 6, 2026 to fill two important roles: our School Office Manager (Mrs. Hendricks will retire June 2027) and our 6th grade Homeroom & Middle School ELA teacher (Mrs. Allen will be staying home with her growing family). We hope the new hires can begin in March 2027 to get settled before Mrs. Hendricks and Mrs. Allen depart.
