News and Announcements

There are a couple of important and beneficial items in the works with regard to the physical site of Albany Middle School, and we want to make sure AMS families are aware of these changes. First, we are in the process of getting additional bike racks both for students and adults. We expect those to be installed in the next couple of weeks. Additionally, to alleviate the overcrowding on the AMS campus, a middle school annex is being built on San Gabriel. This campus will include twelve classrooms, a drama/performing arts/choir facility, and a new computer lab. The plans are at DSA, and we are waiting for approval before the work begins. We will keep you updated as we get new information!

Picture make-ups are tomorrow, Thursday morning, for students that need to take or retake their pictures. If your student is taking pictures for the first time, you can order online at mylifetouch.com with the Picture Day ID: BY117063Q1. If your student is going to retake their pictures, please have your students bring their original package to the retakes.

AMS will be on a short-day schedule for all of Conference Week, October 23rd to October 30th. Click through to see the bell schedules.

Please see the attached letter for some general attendance guidelines. School attendance is key to academic success!

Dear AMS families,
As the fires continue, we're monitoring air quality on a period by period basis and are taking appropriate measures with regards to all outdoor activities, including PE, lunch, and sports.
Thank you,
Deborah Brill, David Haupert, and the rest of the AMS team
