AIS Families--November-December Survey

Question Title

* 1. Did you know that students at AIS High School work at their own pace through a course "checklist" and ask the teacher for help when they need it?

Yes

No

Question Title

* 2. Did you know that some students take all quarter to complete a course, and other students move more quickly and get a new class assigned to them as soon as they finish one?

Yes

No

Question Title

* 3. Did you know that because everyone works at their own pace, the AIS gradebook is used differently than other high schools because every student is at a different point in the course?

Yes

No

Question Title

* 4. Did you know that many AIS High School teachers are moving to a daily work ethic score that would let parents know if students are making the most of their time in class?

Yes

No

Question Title

* 5. Did you know that the easiest way to contact a teacher is through email and that email lists are available to everyone at the school and on our webpage?

Yes

No

Question Title

* 6. Did you know that AIS hosts a huge "Family Fun Night" with information, food, and prizes, and that this year's get-together is Dec. 12th from 5:30 - 7:30 pm?

Yes

No

Question Title

* 7. Did you know that everything for that event unfolds in the cafeteria including music, food, and fun?

Yes

No

Question Title

* 8. Did you know that when you attend school events like this, you are sending a strong message to your students that education matters which has a lasting impact on how they respond to school?

Yes

No

Question Title

* 9. Data from last year shows that over 90% of students did not earn their 4 class credits at the end of the first grading period, which is the expectation. The teachers and staff wonder if more students would pass the courses if they moved through the material together in their classes and everyone was doing the same lesson each day (other than when they were making up missed work from absences). Do you think this would work better for your student?

Question Title

* 10. Data from last year also shows that many AIS High School students miss school frequently--we have a much higher number of absences here per student than in traditional schools. Do you think that your student thinks that because AIS classes are currently self-paced with every student in a different course and at a different point in the course, it does not matter if they attend or not because they will just catch up when they return? Please share your thoughts on this.
