Antlers Middle School
Week of August 24 - 28
From the Principal
Weโve had another great week at AMS! Our students and teachers have settled into their routines, and school is going great. We appreciate our families helping us keep that momentum going!
As we head into another week, we do have a few quick reminders. Please continue to help us with dress code, especially when it comes to the appropriate length of shorts. It is also still HOT outside, so we strongly encourage students to bring a water bottle to school each day. We are keeping a close eye on the heat and will make decisions daily about whether students go outside during lunch based on the conditions.
Attendance is also extremely important. Please remember that four tardies equal one absence, and students are only allowed 8 unexcused absences per semester in order to receive credit. Per our attendance policy, the only excused absences are those related to school functions. Every day in the classroom matters, so please help us make sure our students are at school and on time each day.
Weโre off to a great start, and we are looking forward to another great week!
Go Bearcats!
Mrs. Railey Burrage
Principal, Antlers Middle School

Student Council Elections This Week!
Student Council elections are happening this week, and campaign season is in full swing at AMS! Our hallways are adorned with creative campaign posters, and we are so proud of the number of students who stepped up and signed up to run! ๐
Student Council members serve as role models and leaders in our school. Their choices and actions, both in and outside of school, should reflect a willingness to cooperate, participate, serve, and learn. Student Council gives our students an opportunity to have a voice and positively contribute to our school and community.
We are excited for a great election week and wish all of our candidates the best of luck!
Student Council Sponsor: Mrs. Jessica Mattingly
