News/Timelines/Due Dates

PRIDE – Our next session for PRIDE will be Friday, September 14^th and we will be in an advisement session.  Lessons will be distributed through your teams.  At this point ALL students should have brought a folder to be kept with the PRIDE teacher for advisement activities.  Please check to see that students have done this and if not please remind them.  Next Friday, September 21^st will be a silent reading day in PRIDE.  At the end of the advisement session this week remind students to have a silent reading book and/or decide if you will read a book as a group.

 

Picture Day is Wednesday and we need to make sure that ALL staff members get their picture taken so that we have a nice photo for the yearbook. 

 

Save the Date:  Tuesday, September 11, 10:30 am – 1:30 pm in the teacher lunchroom.  Sam’s Club is offering AMMS faculty and staff a $10 to $25 gift card for joining or renewing your membership.

 

Don’t forget your faculty handbook acknowledgement is due to me this week and that you also have the policies checklist from Human Resources to complete.

 

Please be mindful that over the next couple of weeks there are significant Jewish holidays and many students will be absent.   Please try to avoid tests on those dates and heavy homework requirements.  Rosh Hashana is September 17 and 18 and Yom Kippur is September 26.

 

Where is Livingston?

Amy Creamer states “Michelle Hains is the recipient of Livingston this week.  Michelle works tirelessly on creating lessons that will provoke students to think creatively, abstractly, and will connect with their lives.  She embodies the idea of a team player by not only making her classes the best they can be, but lending a hand to others when needed.  No theatrical production at Autrey Mill would be possible without the skill, talent, and enthusiasm of Michelle.  The students know they can rely on Ms. Hains for her encouragement and expertise as well (as a science joke now and then!).”

Happy Birthday

None!
