AMS Black Bear News
#AIMHIGH Vol. 7
Hello Black Bear Family!
Virtual/eLearning has been a major adjustment in educating our students. Fortunately, Decatur City Schools has done a phenomenal job preparing us for this transition. Please know that Austin Middle School's faculty and staff is committed to providing your children with a quality education. Our teachers are available daily to support your children and your families as they provide virtual instruction and support for completing assignments. It is our hope that you will not hesitate to contact your child's teacher or me (anita.clarke@dcs.edu) if you need assistance.
Although, we are committed to educating your children, we are more concerned with limiting the stressors that your families may experience at this time. If you having any difficulties, please do not hesitate to reach out to our guidance counselors (somer.praytor@dcs.edu, kendria.sutherlin@dcs.edu), teachers or administration.
Remember, we are FAMILY!
Blessings to you,
Mrs. Anita Clarke
