Note from the Principal's Desk
Dear ALMS Families,
This week has been a world wind! Each grade level had an opportunity to have a great time with their classmates and their teachers. Holliday Hills, Rye Playland and 6th grade Game Day, a good time was had by all. We are looking forward to a few more events to end the school year.
Please check for end of the year updates in our weekly newsletter, on our website and on your child's Google Classroom pages.

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 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 (scroll down to the bottom of the form to see all terms and conditions).
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.
