News/Timelines/Due Dates
Pride – This
Friday, October 12 will be an advisement class for PRIDE. Students will
be continuing getting to know you activities while learning about themselves
and others. 6th Grade will be continuing part 2 of the lesson
that was started 2 weeks ago involving establishing norms and what it means to
be a part of a community. 7th Grade will also be continuing
part 2 of the lesson about personality types. 8th Grade has a
new lesson/activity this week getting to know their peers and what they are all
about through a “Question Quilt”.
Seventh Grade PRIDE teachers – Please make sure you return
the personality code sheets and the personality packets you will receive this
week to Lizzie Haber at the conclusion of the lesson. These need to be
stored for next year.
Looking ahead…Friday, October 19 is a silent reading
day. Remind your students at the end of the lesson this week to bring a
silent reading book next week.
Workday- We will have a full morning of meetings on the October 15 workday. The meeting will begin promptly at 8:45 and
will end at noon.
Announcement: Connections/PE
will be hosting a faculty breakfast on Monday, October 15 (Teacher
Workday). Look for an invite later this week with the details.
Take pictures for yearbook – A
cool way to help the yearbook staff… If you have an IPhone or an Android phone,
you can download a free App called ReplayIt. With this App, you can take
pictures with your phone and upload them to our yearbook site. Just
choose our school from the list and the category where you would like to place
it. So easy! Thanks for your help with getting classroom pics or activities
off-site. 7th grade is especially hard for us to get, so we
appreciate all the help we can get.
Attendance verifications -
In your mailbox, you will find the second Verification of Attendance by
Classroom Teacher form. Please run the process and turn in the form by
the noted time and date. FYI You
cannot run the process until after 4:00 p.m. on Monday, October 8, 2012.
Due Date is Wednesday, October 10, 2012 at 4:00 p.m.
Please remember to enter grades, publish items/assignments
and scores/grades. Our parents are now checking HAC more than ever. Debra will be placing “FINAL” FTE
worksheets in the applicable teachers’ (TAG; SEC) mailboxes sometime this
week. More information to come.
Where is Livingston?
Carolyn Grimaldi and Betsy Jacks state, “We would like to give
the Livingston award to Leslie Samford. Leslie
Samford brings a fun-loving, energetic personality to AMMS and uses it create a
great environment to educate her students. When she’s not caring for her
six grandchildren (two who came in one month!!), Leslie is a very dedicated
Student Council sponsor, Relay for Life organizer and participant, and
even finds time to attend the activities and sporting events of current and
former students . She goes above and beyond in investing in students’
lives. She also provides assistance to her peers..for example, helping to
“wean” Michael Harrell from his IT days back to the classroom!Gayla Payne October 11
