End of Trimester 1 Reminder 11/14/25
The end of Trimester 1 is quickly approaching on Thursday, November 14th. We encourage all students and families to review current grades and ensure that any missing assignments are submitted before the deadline. Grades can be viewed in Skyward Family Access. Thank you for your continued support in helping our students finish the trimester successfully.
Parking on Myrtle
As a neighborhood school, we are lucky to be surrounded by kind and caring families. In an effort for our school community to be courteous neighbors, we are requesting that families be mindful when parking along Myrtle to not partially block any driveways. Some neighbors have had experiences where people park very close to the edge of their driveway, which makes it difficult and unsafe for them to get in and out of their driveway. We kindly request that families leave a few feet on either side of a driveway when parking on the street. Thank you for your help and support in our continuous effort to be good neighbors.
New Main Entrance for Parents and Late Arrivals
Albright Middle School has a new main entrance! Please note that Door One on the north side of Villa Ave is no longer in use for parent drop-offs or late student arrivals. All parents and students arriving after the start of the school day should now use the new main entrance located on the south side of Villa Ave, as shown in the photo. This update helps improve security and streamline our entry procedures. Thank you for your cooperation!
⏰ Punctuality Matters! The 7:43 AM Bell
We want all of our students to start their day ready for success! A crucial part of that readiness is simply being on time.
Please remember that our arrival window is from 7:35 AM to 7:43 AM. If a student arrives at the front office after 7:43 AM, they are officially marked as tardy.
Consistent punctuality helps students:
- Catch the Day’s Key Information: The first minutes of class are essential for daily instructions and lesson overviews.
- Build Lifelong Habits: Being on time is a critical skill needed for high school, future jobs, and life responsibilities.
- Avoid Disruptions: Arriving on time ensures the classroom environment remains focused and free from interruptions.
Please help us reinforce the importance of a smooth morning routine at home. We appreciate your partnership in ensuring students are in their classrooms and ready to learn by 7:45 AM sharp!

New at AMS: A la carte menu items
Beginning late next week, we will offer a la carte snack items for purchase through the lunch lines. The items sold will include baked chips ($1.50), chocolate chip cookies ($1.25), and sparkling water ($2.00). There are a few rules around how much and when students can purchase the items:
- Students with a negative lunch balance will not be allowed to purchase these items
- Students may only purchase one of each type of item per day (i.e. only one bag of chips, one cookie, and one drink)
- If a student is only purchasing a snack item, and not a hot lunch, that student must wait until students getting their hot lunch have been served, then they can enter the lunch line to purchase their snack (we want to prioritize students getting their meals)
- The prices listed above will be consistent for everyone, regardless of whether the student receives free/reduced lunch prices
- Students must use money loaded on to their account for the snack items; we do not accept cash
