ALMS Weekly Update
INSPIRE-EDUCATE-EMPOWER
Week Three
Hello ALMS Families!
Happy Friday and Happy Fall! We had another fantastic week on Gerada Lane. Thank you for being so cooperative on Meet the Teacher Night. It was a smashing success!
Wednesday at Meet the Teacher Night, parents and guardians participated in the Hidden in Plain Sight exhibition. Hidden in Plain Sight is an interactive, educational drug and alcohol parent presentation, allowing parents to walk through a mock teen's bedroom and learn about different substance use products. In addition, parents were given information about current drug trends among adolescents. Many parents commented on how helpful this activity was and left feeling better educated about how to identify drug-related items and their different uses. All parents received a vaping information sheet and Top 10 tips to help their children succeed this school year.
Thank you to Albert Leonard Middle School Student Assistance Counselor Ms. Nicolette Loaiza and New Rochelle High School Student Assistance Counselor Mrs. Pina Palmisano for putting this together for all of our parents.
Enjoy the long weekend!

Chromebook Responsibilities
To ALMS Parents and Students,
As a Middle School student, you are required to come to school with your district-provided chromebook charged. The district-provided chromebook is also your responsibility; if it's in your backpack, locker, on a bus, or at home, you must keep it protected from being damaged or lost/stolen.
Please refer to the AUP and Device Loaner Form, which you have signed with your parent/guardian, and review the terms and conditions listed on the form both inside and outside of school. If you have not already signed the AUP and/or Loaner Form, please click on the link above.
To all parents/guardians, please speak with your child regarding Chromebook care and responsibilities. Some of the computers are damaged due to students spilling liquids, tossing them to the ground during recess, getting knocked around in a backpack, or dropping them. Damaged Chromebooks are subject to fees. You may want to consider purchasing a case as was indicated on the school supply list.
You can refer to our Acceptable Use Policy and Device Loaner Form (linked above) for the CSDNR policy.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!
