What an incredible Curriculum Night at AMS! We loved welcoming our families into classrooms, showcasing the opportunities available to join our clubs, and athletics, sharing learning goals, and strengthening our partnership with all families. Thank you for being part of our mission to help every student succeed! When schools and families work together students thrive. One Team. One Mission. Every Student. Every Day.
Our 6th grade scientists in Mrs. Gast’s class have been hard at work practicing their scientific method skills through hands-on activities! 🔬🧪 From asking questions and making observations to testing ideas and analyzing results, our scientists are learning that science is all about exploring, investigating, and discovering! 🧠✨
We’re loving the curiosity, collaboration, and problem-solving happening in our science classroom! 👩🔬👨🔬

AMS met with our Title I district team to discuss the needs of our students, families, and school community. Together, we explored ways to strengthen support systems, expand opportunities, and ensure every student has access to the resources they need to thrive.
At AMS, we know that success happens when we work together. Through strong collaboration and a shared commitment to student achievement, we will continue building partnerships that support academic growth, family engagement, and student well-being.
One Team. One Mission. Every Student. Every Day. AMS is Built to Achieve.
