Dear ALMS Parents and Families,

Happy Fall! Thank you for such a lovely Meet the Teacher Night! We hope you enjoyed your time walking the school, meeting the teachers, and experiencing ALMS! We would like to thank all of you and our teachers for putting on a memorable night!

We would also like to thank Ms. Nicolette Loaiza and Ms. Cristina Johnson for hosting "Start with Hello" week! It was an eventful spirit week where we saw staff and students come together to address the growing epidemic of isolation, as well as build more empathy throughout our school!

ALMS is looking forward to Co-Curricular Night next week on the 27th where you and your child can come explore what we have to offer for after school activities!

Finally, for helpful tips with Google Classroom, please scroll down to see a video and support page.

Warmest regards,

Camille Edwards-Thomas

Principal, ALMS

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 AUP and 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. If you have not already signed the AUP and/or Loaner Form, please click on the link above.

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.

You can refer to our Acceptable Use Policy and Device Loaner Form (linked above) for the CSDNR policy.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!
