ASAs and Sports practices 🥎🎶🎨

If you remain on campus from 4-5 starting on that day, you must be in a supervised place (ASA, sports practice, Flex Space, etc.).

You may also use the ping pong tables during Flex Space after school from 4-5. Let's all work together to take care of these special items and store the equipment properly.
Students are not allowed to hang out at the cafe or anywhere else on campus unattended. More details about this to come...

STEM Tutoring🧬🔬💡

We are Olivia García-Andews and Elena Carballo, IB 11th-grade students currently taking HL Chemistry, Biology, Sport Science, and SL Mathematics AA/AI. We are excited to announce the launch of a new after-school activity: STEM Tutoring Club.

This club is designed to support middle school students in their STEM classes (Math and Science). It will be

run by 11th and 12th grade volunteers who will provide one-on-one support with homework, exam preparation, and study skills.

When: Wednesdays from 4:00–5:00 pm (except early release days)

FIRST DAY - OCTOBER 22

Where: Room A118, ground floor of the high school building

As students ourselves, we understand the challenges of STEM-based subjects. Our mission is to help middle schoolers build confidence in a supportive environment while fostering stronger connections between the middle and high school communities.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at s27121@asmadrid.es (Elena) and s27122@asmadrid.es (Olivia)
