Happy Friday Mustangs!
It has been a busy week in the Stable getting ready for “The Return of the Herd”!
Yes, Mustangs, the stable is getting cleaned up and ready for your return! AS we approach the return date of Monday, Nov. 16th, each week I will be updating you on what students that are returning to in-seat instruction should expect to see upon entering the building.
What will the school day look like?
Student Arrivals and Drop offs- In order to maintain safe social distancing during student arrivals and drop offs, AMS will be creating a schedule for when student can arrive and enter the building. Car drop offs will be only on the lot closest to the softball fields, buses will have access to the main lot.
Once students are in the building- Students will be required to wear a mask at all times in the hallway and in class. During lunch and specific mask breaks, students will be able to remove their mask.
I.D.’s and lanyards will be provided for each student. The ID’s and Lanyards must be worn at all times. This is a safety measure for student identification.
Hallways will have decals and posters for traffic flow and reminders about masking up.
Passing time will be extended for desk cleaning purposes. During this time students may walk the hallway adhering to the directional flow of the hallways they are in. Congregating in groups will not be allowed at any time in the hallways.
REMINDER!!!!
The Haunted Cruise is next week Friday Oct. 30th. See the AMS website for more information. You can pay online or cash in person. All guests must remain in their car at all times. This will be a socially distance event for students to trick or treat! Hope to see you there!
Have a great weekend!
With Avondale Pride,
Jason Ohrt
Proud Principal of Avondale Middle School

Celebrate Veterans Day (11/11/20) with WAHS Avondale Community Radio
All day we will honor veterans with song dedications, live shows and recorded interviews. Be part of the celebration and honor a Veteran you know:
1) Dedicate a song or give a shout out to a Veteran. Include his/her full name, rank, branch, service dates and war or conflict if applicable.
2) If you are a veteran you can share your story or request a song that reminds you of your time served. (The song does not have to be military related). We want to share insight into the life of a soldier. We are also looking for veterans willing to be interviewed over the phone for recordings or live via Google Meet on Veterans Day.
If you have questions or submissions email station manager Marty Shafer at WAHS@avondaleschools.org. Tune in too for a special live interview at 6pm on the 11th with Siren and Team Honor! (Siren is a local band that wrote a song supporting Team Honor.)
