Dear AMS Families,
As September came to an end this past week, and we embark upon the month of October, we have been very busy at Avenel Middle School. At this point in time, both students and teachers have established routines, and are engrossed in meaningful learning experiences on a daily basis. Next week we look forward to celebrating our Week of Inclusion and Respect. Please see the attachment for a list of spirit days for our Week of Respect and Inclusion, as well as for the entire month of October.
During the Week of Inclusion and Respect, students will participate in various activities that focus on Social Emotional Learning and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. We will also have our first Spirit Week of the year and will cap the week off with our first pep rally on Friday, October 11.
On Thursday, October 10th at 5:30 p.m. in the cafeteria, we are going to host our annual "Guidance Night." At "Guidance Night", our counselors will present information on the following topics:
Genesis Parent Portal
Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying Laws
Social Emotional Learning
Alcohol, Drugs, and Tobacco Prevention/Programs
We invite you all to come to this informative session!
We look forward to next week and celebrating our AMS school community!
Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Hello AMS Families,
Hope all is well. Just a few reminders for the next couple of weeks.
Wednesday, 9/25 is School Picture Day. All students, for the purpose of creating School I.D.s will be photographed, regardless if pictures are going to be ordered.
If your child is interested in participating in Basketball (Grade 7 and 8 students only) or Cheerleading (Grades 7 and 8 students only), physical forms are due by Tuesday, 10/1/24. If physical forms are not submitted by that date, there is no guarantee that your child will be cleared by the WTSD to participate in tryouts.
AMS after school clubs will start on Tuesday 10/1/24. If your child is bus student, we do have a late bus that leaves at approximately 4:05 p.m.
Hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend!
