AMCMS Principal's Office
What is going on in the Principal's Office?
My Challenge to You
Today is one of the most special of days because it is Mother's Day. What would you say to your mom if you could talk to her when she was at the age you are at now? That is an interesting question. Watch the video above and see what other people had to say when asked that question. I'll wait, go ahead and watch.
What do you think? Interesting question, huh? I can only imagine how the conversation would go if I had that opportunity.
Thank you goes out to all of the moms in the world. If you are a mom, I hope that you are enjoying a fantastic Mother's Day. If you are not a mom, I hope that you reached out to your mom or if you are like me and your mom is no longer with us, reach out to the other moms in your life, and tell them how you important they are to you.
Happy Mother's Day!
Jeff

AMCMS SPED Tip of the Week
Finals are around the corner!
As you are wrapping up new instruction and beginning the review process for finals, please keep in mind that our special education students still need their accommodations and modifications provided for them!
Be sure to continue to chunk those lengthy assignments, projects, reviews, and tests. Visuals are always a plus! While we want to save paper, please keep in mind that excessive amounts of information on a page can be overwhelming for struggling learners!
If you need assistance or support with the development of special educatoon-friendly review activities, reviews, and/or finals please visit with Beth Sherry (rm 112) or Rose Norwood (rm 110).
Academic Tip of the Week
As you are preparing the final exam for your class keep a couple of things in mind.
Be sure to only cover what you have taught in your class and not what would have been taught if you had more time.
Be sure to make accommodated and modified versions of your exams for your 504 and SPED students based off their accommodations and modifications. If you are not sure, please contact their contact teacher for assistance.
Be sure to communicate with Mrs. Norwood in Content Mastery regarding anything you need from her in assisting students with their final in her room.
Be sure to have a final exam that is similar to the final exams of the other teachers in your content area grade level. I cannot have some teachers in a grade level/ content area giving a final and others not giving a final in the same grade level/ content area.
Wellness Tip of the Week
Technology Tip of the Week
