Principal Office Updates
A Message from the Principal
We have had a busy week over at AMS! We started our Fall iReady Inform testing for reading, enjoyed seeing parents and community members at Curriculum Night, and wrapped up the week with Safety Day today. Thank you to everyone who was able to make it out to Curriculum Night! I am attaching the Curriculum Night presentation as well as a link to the Tech Tips Talk presentation that were given at Curriculum Night so you can review both items at your leisure.
I continue to be impressed with the students as they transition back to school. They are working hard and already digging into their first units.
Don't forget that we have no school this coming Monday, Sept. 7th in observance of Labor Day.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Please call your Student in when they are sick or late

Nurses Notes
We’ve recently seen a few cases of the “stomach bug” at school, and handwashing is one of the best ways to help stop the spread. Please remind your child to wash their hands with soap and water before eating, after using the bathroom, and after coughing or sneezing. These simple habits make a big difference in keeping our school community healthy and feeling their best.
