We wanted to take a moment to send a heartfelt thank you to all of our families who joined us for this year's Open House. Seeing so many of you here truly made the evening special.

It was wonderful to have so many great conversations, and we loved seeing new friendships begin to blossom throughout the building. Your energy and enthusiasm are a fantastic start to the year. We are so excited about what we will accomplish together!

Lifetouch will be at AGS during the school day on Tuesday, September 30 for school photo retakes. This is an opportunity for students to have their photo retaken and for those who were not able to attend schedule pick up. We encourage all students to have their photo taken so they can appear in the yearbook.

We hope you can join us for the annual Back to School Pancake Breakfast. The event will be held at AGS on Sunday, September 7th. The event features FAPS Staff flipping pancakes, photo booth, FAPS Principal Pancake Catching Contest, kids games, and more! We hope to see you there!

We are already hard at work on the yearbook and would love to include your photos! If you have any school-related pictures of AGS students only, please consider sharing them with us through THIS LINK or the Lifetouch Yearbook Community link below for a chance to be featured. I have also included a digital flyer to easily pre-order your yearbook.

We're hoping to capture a wide variety of moments, including school events, sports, and special activities. We look forward to seeing all the memories you've captured!

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Lisa Wissinger at lwissinger@fentonschools.org. Thank you for helping us create an amazing yearbook!

DROP OFF / PICK UP LOOP

We realize that school drop off and pick up loop procedures are not the most convenient. However, please understand that the safety of AGS students will always be our first priority. The current procedure is considered to be the safest approach as endorsed by the Fenton Police Department and County Traffic Engineers. We appreciate your cooperation and patience during the morning and afternoon drop off/pick times.

Things to remember:

The loop off of Shiawassee is for PARENT drop off / pick up

Please pull all the way around the loop for a more efficient drop off

Students may be dropped off across Donaldson Drive
There is a crossing guard at Donaldson Drive during drop off and pick up
There are over 2000 students arriving and departing in the same vicinity (AGS/FHS)
The Donaldson (front) Loop and Entrance is for Bus Traffic Only
After 7:30 AM, please drop students off at the New Main Entrance (off of Shiawassee)

Thank you again for keeping our AGS Students safe! It could be worse ... check out the school below! Crazy Loop!!

The middle school health curriculum is delivered by PE/Health teachers in SRT class throughout the school year. This will begin in mid-September and will continue until the end of the year. The teachers will teach approximately 4 lessons/units for 30 minutes during SRT. Attached below is a health letter that contains more information. Additionally, a health waiver form is attached. The waiver is only required for those who choose to OPT OUT of the district mandated health class. Students will receive a copy of the letter and waiver 2 weeks prior to taking health class. If you choose the OPT OUT option, please return the waiver before health class begins. You may print the form attached to this email and return it to the main office at any time or complete/return the form when your student receives it 2 weeks prior to class.

Please contact the main office (810 591 7700) with any questions. Thank you!

Happy Summer AGS Families!

As we get closer to the start of school I wanted to reach out and reintroduce myself. My name is Lauren Underwood and I am your School Home Coordinator. My main goals and focus are making sure that our students and families basic needs are being met so our kids can be the best version of themselves.

If your family is in need of school supplies, backpacks, clothing, food, utility help, getting to school or just plain positive support, I would love for you to reach out to me at ANY time!
