2) IS THERE AN ENTRANCE TEST?
At the Toddler/Casa level, both the child and parents/guardians must meet with the Director of Admissions Toddler/Casa. Prior to acceptance at the Elementary level, the child and his/her parents must meet with the Principal, Brenda Glashan, and successfully complete an entrance test (level 3 and up). We look forward to meeting your family and discussing how our unique environment will shape your child into a responsible, enthusiastic, and life-long learner.

3) HOW CAN I COMMUNICATE WITH MY CHILD'S TEACHER IF I HAVE QUESTIONS?
Parent/Teacher interviews are formally scheduled twice a year. Open communication between you and your child’s teacher is vital to his/her success. Teachers are available to meet with parents at 4:00 p.m. daily. Parents may book an appointment at their own convenience. Parents will be provided with progress reports; twice a year at the Toddler/ Casa level, and three times a year at the Elementary level. All teachers can be reached by phone (with personal voicemail). Elementary teachers can also be reached via e-mail. Please send your Email to the school at info@insideams.net and your message will be forwarded to the teacher.
