10/7/22 - Weekly Update
Hello ALMS Families!
Happy Friday! I hope you and your families enjoy quality time over the long weekend. I want to call your attention to the 6th and 7th-grade cluster breakfasts. This year we have added 7th grade to this annual tradition. Thus far, the responses have been minimal. If we do not have enough people RSVP, we cannot continue with these events, which are an opportunity for families to meet the teachers in their child's cluster and mingle with other students and families. Please consider joining us.

Principal

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!
