Fred S. Engle MS Holiday Gift Drive
Thank you to all of our families who contributed to our holiday gift drive. Combined with the generosity of our staff, we are able to provide gifts to so many in our school community. On behalf of our staff here, thank you so much! #agsdpride
Power School App
If you or a family member is using the Powerschool App (NOT the AGSD App), you may have recently experienced some issues with an error stating that data was not syncing. This is due to a version mismatch and will occur if the app is at version 22.5 or older. To rectify the issue, simply click on the three lines in the bottom right hand corner of your App screen, go to "Account", and sign out completely. Once you use your usual credentials to sign back in, it should update your app to the newest version and the error should no longer appear. If you have any further issues, please enter a web help desk ticket using your child's credentials.
December 23 Early Dismissal
Friday, December 23 is an early dismissal day. Lunches will be served, and students will be dismissed at 11:20am.
Safety & Security Reminders
The safety and security of our school community remain a priority in AGSD. Our District has safety and security protocols in place and we would like to share a few key points.
- AGSD maintains a collaborative partnership with the local and state police departments.
- Police are required to perform daily safety checks of schools for our buildings.
- If through collaboration with the local and/or state police an incident is deemed a potential threat to the safety of our school community, administration will notify families in a prompt manner.
- Administration can only discuss discipline-related issues with the student’s parents/caregivers.
- Questions or concerns should be directed to the school administration.
