Good morning, afternoon or evening depending on when you read this message!
 
I want to send my love and compassion to all of our families as we navigate these waters together. Although there are a lot of uncertainties, I hope that you have been able to enjoy the time with your families and make memories that will bring joy and laughter for many years to come. 
 
I am ecstatic to continue to inform you that the progress of the construction of OUR school is progressing; we are continuing to enroll scholars and grow OUR wait-list; and OUR school will start on July 27th, 2020. It is still too early to know if it will be in person, facilitating home learning or a combination of both. I remain optimistic that we will begin our 2020-2021 school year with in-person learning. Currently, our sister AMS schools are facilitating successful home learning; please visit the following link for resources and information  https://amscharters.org/home-learning/  . If we need to facilitate home learning, the link mentioned will be similar to what we will utilize with your child(ren). 
 
As I close, I want to encourage all of you to continue to stay safe and healthy. Make the most of each day and make memories with those you love. In the words of Muhammad Ali, “Don’t count the days, make the days count.” 
 
Please remember that the AMS South Mountain team is here to assist you with your needs, questions and concerns. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at 602-675-9696.
 
In Service to Scholars,
 
Mr. Charles Woods
South Mountain Principal

OUR School. OUR Children. OUR Success.
