New Student Enrollment: If you have a student that attends AFIA and you would like to enroll a sibling for the 2022-2023 school year, please read this information regarding open enrollment.
Winter Break: We hope you and your family have a safe, enjoyable winter break and a wonderful start to the new year. As a reminder, our last day of school is this Friday, December 17th. Students return to school on Tuesday, January 4th.
Reading and School Success: We encourage all AFIA students to read for at least 30 minutes each night as research shows that it makes a significant difference in their academic success. Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes agrees and in this video he shares why reading is so important. You might notice some familiar faces in the video since many of the readers shown are AFIA students!
Update from Enrichment: Read this blog entry for some updates from Ms. Lacy, our Theater Art teacher.
