Welcome back AIS family! This year is off to a running start and we have embraced a growth mindset! There are so many awesome things going on at AIS this year and we are honored to serve your children. We want to ensure that we are supporting the qualities that you have already instilled in your children at home and partner with you to be the best they can be.

AIS Mission
We will motivate, inspire, and empower learners today . . . leaders tomorrow!

AIS Vision
The Alvarado Intermediate community will consistently apply a growth mindset with character to accomplish EXCELLENCE for all.

AIS Values
We will engage learners through differentiated instruction.
We will collaborate vertically and horizontally.
We will provide positive feedback to parents and students.
We will use technology as a tool to increase student learning.
We will increase higher level questioning.
We will teach students to be respectful, responsible, problem solvers.
We will create meaningful and positive relationships with each student.

We have to expect that we will succeed in order to get in the right mindset to be successful. If a football team went into the game not expecting to win, it is likely that they will lose. They may have to work harder, run faster, adjust the game plan and use strong teamwork, but the expectation would be that they will win. It is no different in the classroom. We will expect success and do everything that we can to help the student find improvement and success!

We are looking forward to a year of growth and partnership with parents for our students to find their own success! Please check Parent Square and Facebook often for updates and information from AIS.
