AGS PTO is run by parent volunteers to help support the students and staff. Offering your time, knowledge, helping hands, or monetary support is essential to building a successful school year full of exciting events and opportunities. We know that life is busy, especially with growing kids in tow. We do our best to hold fundraisers that are easy and fun, but even those require the help of many people to make them worthwhile.

What we are hoping to establish are parental representatives for each grade to help organize and be a contact point for other parents who would like to volunteer- especially for our new 6th graders. No experience necessary, just a willingness to learn, listen, and help out. If you are interested in volunteering in any way, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/1y3CuJ96L4WCsx5o6

Thank you for your time and Let’s Go Tigers!

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!
