What’s happening at AMS, and what’s coming next?

Join us for Dr. Knowles’ School Update, a special presentation happening just once each trimester. Dr. Knowles will connect with our parent community to share important updates, upcoming changes, and what’s ahead for the school year.

He’ll be sharing a look at how our students are progressing academically, some updates to what’s happening in the classroom, and details about an upcoming evening designed to give parents practical Executive Functioning tools to help their children thrive in and out of school. Plus an exciting update from our AMPA Board.

There’s a lot to share and you’ll want to hear it firsthand!

☕ Monday, October 5
📍 School Hall | After drop-off

Coffee & donuts provided!

One morning. Once a trimester. Everything you need to know about what’s happening at AMS.

Safety first! Before students can ride their e-bikes to AMS, they’re required to complete an e-bike safety course. We’re proud to partner with E-Bike Sense to give our students the skills and knowledge they need to ride safely and responsibly.

Missed the class? We’ll offer another one at AMS in January, or you can contact E-Bike Sense directly to learn about additional course dates.

Thank you, E-Bike Sense, for another great class and for helping keep our young riders safe!
