The end of the school year is fast approaching. We will continue to focus on academics. Last month students participated in SARSEF, the Southern Arizona Research, Science, and Engineering Foundation competition. Ms. Hale’s class won second place in their category and Ms. O’Shea’s class took third place. Ms. Davis’ class won first place in their category and Ms. Shepard’s won third place. Zane Soulen was the individual winner. We are very proud of all our scholars.

We are only a few days away from winter break! The past few months have been very different for our school community, but I’d like to thank everyone for adapting to the new ways of doing things to help keep our staff and students safe and healthy.
Providing a safe, positive, inclusive learning environment while celebrating cultural diversity is always our goal. Thank you for being a part of pour school community. It is always great to see a school community come together in midst of difficult times. Thank you for your continued support and collaboration on behalf of our scholars.

AMS was recently recognized in Arizona and nationally. The U.S. News and World Report announced the new rankings for elementary and middle schools. The rankings evaluate more than 80,000 public and charter schools at the state and district level. AMS Prince outperformed 18 out of 19 schools within a 3-mile radius and statewide. We outperformed 99% of all schools with similar free and reduced lunch percentages across the state. AMS was ranked #8 across all AZ charter middle schools and #22 across all AZ middle schools. We were also ranked # 112 in AZ elementary schools and #28 in AZ charter schools. This is a testament to the hard work on the part of the students, staff, and parents. At AMS, we believe that only working together can we ensure the success of our students.
One of the key factors for students to perform well academically is daily school attendance. It is very important for every student to be on time and in school every day. Students need to be seated in class by 7:55 am. Students not in class by 7:55 need to report to the office to be signed in by the parent/guardian and given a pass to be able to enter the classroom. Students are considered tardy when they are not in the proper class with all materials necessary for that class period when the bell rings.

September certainly did fly quickly by! Your children and their teachers have been very busy setting the stage for a rich year of learning. By now, building and classroom procedures are well-ingrained, and students are deep into the literacy, math, science, and social studies content they will learn this year.
