Positive Behaviors, Interventions, and Supports
AMS is a PBIS school. We believe that all students can follow expectations with various amounts of support. In that vein we have been taking information from our stake holders about how we are doing. It is part of the process of checks and balances.
Please click the link to take the Parent Survey. The more responses we receive the better we can make AMS.
Thank you.

2023 Turkey Trot
Congratulations and a huge thank you for all
those who participated in the 10th annual Turkey
Trot on Friday.
Parker Bowie and Emelia Vincent
were the top finishers in the race.
17 students participated in the run or collected
pledges.
A total of $ 1149.00 was collected from students
and staff to make this the most successful Turkey
Trot fundraiser since 2014.
Thank you to all who contributed. The theme of
the event is called “ Giving from the Heart” and
that most certainly happened this year.
Hoops for Heroes
A few weeks ago our community was stunned by the events that took place in Lewiston, Maine. Many of us and our students were affected by this shooting. To help out, I have created a basketball tournament where staff and students can compete with and against each other and raise funds to help offset costs for victims. All proceeds will go directly to the victims.
The tourney is a 20 dollar buy-in per team and there will be a donation box in the office as well for those who do not wish to play but wish to contribute.
December 8th
The games will take place afterschool on Fridays from 2:30- 3:45.
Teams sign up during their CORE
I am hoping we can come together to show others how "We Are AMS" and lead the students in a fundraiser. Let me know if you can help in any way.
Thanks for all your help,
Sincerely Colin Callahan. CCallahan@aurubrnschl.edu

If you played Baseball at Edward Little or were just a fan, what would you rather do at the end of November than to attend the biggest EL Baseball reunion in history! There are three days until the book launch. Again it will take place at Gippers on Wednesday, Thanksgiving Eve 11/22, starting at 5:00pm in the Hall of Fame Room.”

Hard wired phones in each room
Cameras that are observed
Secure front entrance
Badged staff
Practice safety measures
Staff members every 10 feet in the building
We do not have unannounced visitors
Bates mentors are trained and have background checks
Staff have multiple communication devices to contact others for immediate assistance
