Happy Sunday!

Good afternoon AFIA families,
It has been a great week at AFIA! Students are starting to use their devices to learn and login to the programs we will use throughout the school year.  This year we are a Microsoft in Education school. Your child will use this by logging in at www.office.com. Their login follows this format: firstnamelastname08@inspirecharter.com Their password is their 6 digit birth date. This combination is also part of their computer and content keeper login (our internet filter) so they will use it daily. We are still getting students into this and other programs so we are not fully relying on them yet. On September 26th at 6pm we will have a parent meeting to go over how our online programs work.

Picture day will be September 27th and 28th. All elementary students will take their pictures on September 27th and middle and high school will be September 28th.

Have a great Sunday! Looking forward to another great week at AFIA.
