The Student Television Network (STN) is a non-profit international organization that supports, promotes, and recognizes excellence in scholastic broadcast journalism, creative video, filmmaking and media convergence. As an affiliate member, the Audio Video Technology & Film (AVTF) program at AMMS has submitted 9 entries into STN’s various competitions throughout the 2020-2021 school year.

The results of these competitions has included an Honorable Mention for Middle School PSA Challenge for students Bornini C., Ian J., Shawn P., and Daniella R. as well as a 3rd Place Middle School PSA for student Liza M. during Fall Nationals.

Most recently, AVTF at AMMS submitted to Spring Nationals. We would like to wish a special congratulations to 8th grade students Claire B., Ankhang L., and Regin H. for receiving an Honorable Mention for their News/Feature submission!

These are very high honors as students are being judged against middle programs from across the country. Mr. Everett would like to thank all AVTF students at AMMS for their hard work and dedication throughout this school year.

Superintendent Mike Looney shared that Fulton County Schools will be taking a measured, cautious approach to relaxing COVID-19 protocols, which includes updating COVID-19 restrictions and mask mandates in phases. There are several factors spurring these changes, including Governor Brian Kemp’s lifting of restrictions on group sizes and ending a ban on large gatherings. Also, vaccines are now readily available to those 16 years of age and older. In this new phase, employees and students who may have been exposed to COVID-19 but have been fully vaccinated will not have to quarantine providing they are symptom free.

Beginning Monday, May 3, 2021:

• For outdoor activities only, masks will be recommended but not required for students in grades 9-12 and employees in high schools. All other safety protocols will remain in effect for this group of individuals.
• At school sponsored outdoor events and activities, masks will be recommended but not required for visitors/spectators.
• Capacity limitations are lifted on all outside school venues (stadiums, fields, etc.).
• Coaches may attend banquets.

Beginning Monday, May 17, 2021:

• While engaged in outdoor activities, masks will be recommended but not required for students in grades PK-8 and employees. All other safety protocols will remain in effect for this group of individuals.
• School Leaders, in consultation with their respective community support organizations, may schedule and host outdoor end of year celebrations to honor the achievements of students without restrictions on group sizes.

All other existing COVID-19 risk mitigation strategies will remain in force for the balance of the 2020-21 school year. This includes requiring all staff, students, and visitors to wear a mask while inside an FCS facility, and adhere to recommended social distancing, surface sanitizing, and handwashing. More information on the new mask mandate can be found here.

Students please keep a spare mask in your backpacks to use if yours gets soiled or breaks.

Thanks for keeping us all safe!

Any medication left in the clinic at the end of that day, including year round medications, over the counter and prescription medications, will be discarded.

Remember that a new Medication Authorization form and/or Health Care Plan for your child will have to be competed by you and your physician for the 2021-2022 school year.
