While your child is in school, you will receive a regular newsletter telling you about events at school, a report card every nine weeks, a progress report half-way through that nine week period, and other communications as needed. We need your help to support and encourage your child. Children can call home every evening if they like, and you may call the dorms as well. Through play, children learn how to get along with each other, how the world works, how to make their life more meaningful. We place a great deal of emphasis on recreation at AIDB, and work hard to make many options available.
Sports are a large part of our after-school program.
Depending on the school, your child may be involved in basketball, football, wresting, track and field, cheerleading, swimming, bowling or other sports. Sometimes we play competitively, sometimes we play just for fun. Sports help keep our children fit, and with imagination and a little work, we can find a way to get every child actively involved. Music is another recreational opportunity for some students. Band, chorus, and individual lessons teach children not just how to play an instrument or sing, but how to apply themselves to a task and see it through.
