AMS Black Bear Express
# AIMHIGH Vol.1
Hello Black Bear Parents!
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. I work diligently to have an open door policy. In an effort to create a family environment that will allow our students to thrive academically, emotionally and socially, it is necessary for us to maintain a relationship that supports our students and enhance their ability to become productive citizens.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my interactions with each of your families. I am looking forward to an IMPACTful school year that EMPOWERs every student that walks into Austin Middle School.
Thank you for giving me an opportunity to serve your children... your most precious gift!
Have a blessed day!
Mrs. Anita A. Clarke
Principal
