Childcare for Asynchronous Learning Day
Sept. 10th

  • Amana Academy will be providing childcare for families unable to keep their students at home during our Asynchronous Learning Day. If you are in need of childcare for Sept. 10th, let us know by completing the form below. Families should complete the form by 11:59 PM on Wednesday, September 8th.

  • Students coming into the building for childcare should bring in a device and be prepared to complete their assignments while in the school building. Remember to complete the Technology Agreement Form so your student can use school technology.

  • Please note, students will not be separated by grade level and will likely be in the same room as students from different grade levels.

  • Pick-Up time is from 1:00 PM to 1:20 PM. Any students remaining after 1:20 PM will be sent to Amana's after-school program. After-school fees do apply.
The Amana Stories Project is a space for our Amana community to share transformative narratives, stories, and perspectives around identity, culture, and race that transform the reader's understanding of community. During Hispanic Heritage Month, this page will reflect stories from Amana staff, parents, students, board members, and community partners embodying the richness and depth of the Hispanic/Latino experience. Sharing our stories (and opening ourselves up to understanding other's stories) is an opportunity to build bonds and connect with each other on a very human level.

We welcome you all to share your stories using the link below and visit the page in the coming weeks to view the diverse and meaningful stories shared.
Important Reminders

  • Fulton County has made its 2021-2022 Student Code of Conduct & Discipline Handbook available online. CLICK HERE to access it. Once you and your student have read and reviewed it, please complete the Acknowledgment of Receipt Form. All Amana Parents/Guardians and students (over 10 years old) need to sign Fulton County Schools' Code of Conduct. Families can read and sign the Code of Conduct by logging into Infinite Campus. CLICK HERE to view step-by-step instructions. If you would like a paper copy, you or your student can pick one up at the front desk.

  • To report your child's absence from school please do the following.
  • Go to our website https://amanaacademy.org/
  • Click on the North Fulton tab
  • Go to the Parent Tab and Click Attendance
  • Complete and submit the form

  • Fulton County's current policy states we must place quarantined students in Infinite Campus as "Assigned Remote" and it DOES count as an excused absence. We will be working with the county to see if we can change this, but for now, it will be counted as an excused absence.


  • K-8 Progress Reports will be visible on the Parent Portal on September 17th. Students will not receive a paper copy to take home. If you have not set up your Parent Portal account please do so at your earliest convenience. If you need your activation code, email Ms. Karen Autrey at kautrey@amanaacademy.org. If you have trouble setting up your account, email Ms. Valeria Hernandez vhernandez@amanaacademy.org.

  • We are excited to announce that Amana Academy received a grant from North Point Community Church to provide free and low-cost counseling to students through Sunshine Counseling in Alpharetta. If you would like for your child to be referred to this program, please complete the Professional Counseling Referral Request form below. For additional information or questions regarding this program, please contact Jaime Albright at jalbright@amanaacademy.org.  
2021-2022 Uniform Requirements

  • Students are required to wear uniforms. CLICK HERE to view our uniform requirements. If you are purchasing new uniforms, please make sure the NEW Amana Academy logo is embroidered on your child's uniform. We also ask that hoodies, jackets, and sweatshirts adhere to our uniform guidelines.

  • If students have not yet received their new uniforms, they should wear khaki or navy blue bottoms with green or navy blue collared shirts.
