Good Morning AOTMS Community,
As the temperature rises the body needs plenty of shade and hydration to operate at peak efficiency!
We have water bottle fillers in the building – please encourage your child to bring a water bottle each day as the temperatures creep closer to triple digits! Temperatures in the morning are perfect!
Students should be ready to remove sweatshirts and jackets by lunchtime or recess! Heat exhaustion is real and we want to work together to prevent heat related illnesses.
Enjoy your early morning walk through the neighborhood!
Academics
Please be sure that you continue to refer to Infinite Campus and your child’s Google Classroom for grades in quarter 4. The teachers and I can be reached via email for conversations regarding behavior and grades. There are approximately six weeks left in the quarter and there are still opportunities for grades to improve, but the time to act is now! Tutoring, make-up quizzes, and retakes are still available per teacher.
Please feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher to find out or arrange times.
Thank you for your continued support of AOTMS academics.
Sports
Just 4 games left before the tournament! Come out to the game tomorrow, Monday, April 15th at the Gregory School located at 3231 North Craycroft. The girls play @ 4p with the boys playing shortly after @ 5p. Please come out and watch the teams play as Coach Hissick and Coach Walker take them into tournament play.
Thank you for your continued support of AOTMS athletics.
