Principal's Update

Hey everyone! Dr. Nover here. Happy Friday!

It was a FULL week at AMD. From the Algebra and Earth Science midterms to the state test simulation and 6th-grade bridge challenge, I am exhausted and my heart is full! The simulation was a huge success. We have worked out many of the kinks associated with testing and are looking forward to a successful administration of the New York State tests this spring. 

It has come to my attention that some of our students are intentionally destroying Chromebooks. This behavior is a violation of our code of conduct and district technology policies. Consequences have been and will continue to be put into place for students who intentionally damage devices. 

Below you will find our updated STAR website for session 2 which begins on Tuesday, February 27th. Registration for clubs is open from now until Friday, February 9th. You and your student leader can find the information below and on their grade-level Google Classroom. As a reminder, STAR session 1 has ended. There will be no after-school transportation at 3:45 PM until STAR session 2 resumes. 

As we head into the third quarter, many folks have been interested in meeting with various members of our team. We are always here to meet with you and support you and your student leader; however, we are typically unavailable for unscheduled appointments. Below you will find the contact information for key members of our team. If you need to schedule an appointment, you can reach out via phone or email to set up a time. This will ensure that we can support all of our students and families. 

Over the next several weeks you will be hearing from members of our team about upcoming field trips. Each grade will be taking one trip as a culminating activity for the year. These trips will occur throughout the spring and range in cost from approximately $20 to $55. Next week, our 8th-grade students will learn about their trip - a Broadway show! Details to follow from Ms. Blye and Mr. Charvet. We are so excited to bring these joyful and meaningful field experiences to life for our students. 

Thank you so much for all of your support and partnership! Have a wonderful weekend. Stay safe and warm!

With gratitude,

Dr. Nicole Mangiere Nover
