A Message from Mrs. Caudill
It's October, the leaves are changing, the air is crisp, and there is positive energy resonating through Amerman's halls. As the newness of the school year wears off, we find ourselves settling in, more relaxed yet working as hard as ever.
It finally feels like things are normal, or as normal as an elementary school can be :) We have created good school patterns, establish expectations, and most importantly, built relationships that foster academic growth.
We expect great things for our students and will continue to make strides toward our goals this year and in the years to come. Thank you for your support and continued partnership as we continue to raise the achievement bar for all of our students.
Stay well,
Devon Caudill

annual FALL CLEAN-UP
Please join us the annual FALL CLEAN-UP of our school grounds! We will meet on Saturday, November, 5th starting at 9 am. Based on last year’s experience, it will not take more than 2-3 hours.
Many hands make light work, so grab your gardening tools and meet fellow Amerman families as we are take pride in our school and ready the landscape for winter. We are going to take the leaves, cut back foliage, etc. Come for as long as you are able - there are will be light refreshments and ALL help is appreciated!
We will provide bags, but please bring RAKES, gloves and any type of leaf collecting contraptions you have. Cordless leaf blowers, hedge trimmers, loppers and brooms are also needed.
Thanks in advance for joining us.
Please do not hesitate to contact Julie, if you have any further questions or concerns at gulshaty@yahoo.com

Infectious Disease Response to COVID 2022-23
Students and staff that contract COVID should follow the Health Department recommendations and isolate for five days from the date where symptoms were present or from the date of their positive rapid or PCR test. Isolation includes waiting to return to school until the isolation period has ended. It is also recommended that students or staff should wear a mask for 5 days past their isolation period. See MDHHS Graphic below.
Parents should notify their child’s school of the absence reason so that teachers are aware of the student's absence period and our nurses can follow the health department’s infectious disease requirements. NPS School Nurses are available should you have any questions.
hot lunch program for interested students
Families must preorder lunches for preschools and elementary students. Orders must be in by 8:30 AM for elementary students to receive a lunch that day. The system will not allow you to order after the time listed above. For your convenience, meals can be preordered up to 30 days in advance. To avoid any issues, we recommend ordering the night before.
Leader in Me October Focus: Habit 1 - Be Proactive
Habit 1 – Be Proactive – “I’m in Charge of Me”
What this means: Take charge of your own life. Make it happen. Don't wait for someone else to do it.
“I am responsible for me.”
“I do the right thing before I am asked.”
“I do the right thing even when no one is looking.”
“I do not blame others for my actions.”
How can I do this in my life?
1. If you do something wrong, say you are sorry before someone asks you to apologize.
2. When you get mad and want to say something, stop, think, and ask yourself-
Why am I getting so angry? Make a good choice in a good way.
