Current Students & Parents

Can I have lunch with my student? No, we do not allow visitors to east with students at lunch.

Can I bring food for other students? No, food for friends and classes is NOT permitted.

Can I send special deliveries such as flowers or balloons to my student for their birthday? No, students may NOT receive deliveries of any kind.

Do I need to sign-in my late student? Yes, all students must be checked in at the front office.

Can I call ahead to have my student waiting for checkout? No, students are called for checkout after signed out and ID verified

Can I bring in medicine for my student? Yes, but it has to be in a prescription bottle labeled with the student name.

How do I get my student a 504? The first step is to set up a meeting to discuss parental concerns. The teachers of the student will do this. The teachers need to be prepared to address any concerns and possible solutions to the parent(s)/guardian(s) concerns. If the team agrees that a 504 is needed, the school will provide the parent/guardian with the necessary paperwork to give the school permission to initiate this process. 

We cannot guarantee that it will be completed by the end of the year as we must show that the interventions were implemented with fidelity and given sufficient time to show results. After the teachers have completed their observations/interventions, the teachers and admin will have a meeting to discuss whether a service plan is needed as a team.

Does the school accept credit cards? Yes, for most transactions, AMS can receive payments via credit card. In order to do so, you must go to My School Bucks and set up an account that you connect to your student(s). Then you can make payments on various items such as lunch accounts and technology fees. To be safe, verify with the financial secretary that what you wish to pay for may indeed be paid for on MySchoolBucks.

Does the school accept checks? Yes, make your check out to AMS and make sure your phone number & student which the payment is for is listed on the check

How can I change my student's way home? All transportation changes must be done by emailing the student's 6th period teacher. As a reminder, as for a "reply" to your email request acknowledging that the request was received and your student is aware of the change. Transportation changes are generally NOT made through the front desk.
