FRIDAY FAMILY UPDATE #4
September 17, 2021
Hello AMS Families!
We need your help in making sure that students who are ill or experiencing possible symptoms of COVID-19 should not be coming to school. Each day we are needing to send home numerous students who have sore throats, are coughing, have headaches, etc. If you have any questions about this please do not hesitate to contact our School Nurse, Trevor Luce at tluce@auburnschl.edu.
Please remind your student that masks must be worn at all times on school buses. Students who have a pattern of refusing to wear a mask may lose the privilege of riding district buses. If you have any transportation related questions, please contact the Transportation Department at 333-6658, option #1. Contact the Transportation Department if you have any questions about this.
Our first Early Release Wednesday is on October 20th. AMS Students will be dismissed at 12pm on Early Release days.
The AMS Athletics Website is a great resource for up to date sports information at AMS. Please direct all sports questions to our school's athletic director, Anthony Timberman, at atimberman@auburnschl.edu.
You will find staff contact information, lunch menus, athletic information, bus runs, copies of forms, and COVID-19 guidelines on our school website. AMS website
If you have any questions about our school breakfast or lunch program please do not hesitate to contact the School Nutrition Program directly at 333-6658, ext. 4.
Finally, we have attached a letter pertaining to the upcoming NWEA state assessment that will be given in October. Parent NWEA Letter
Enjoy the weekend!
Sincerely,
Bob Griffin

Auburn Middle School Parent-Student Drop Off and Pick Up MAP
Drop Off Instructions:
Drive up Falcon Drive toward the school. Take a left as you face the school. Travel along the left side of the building. In the back, drop off your student in the designated area. Follow the road up and loop around. Drive back down the same road to Falcon Drive.
Pick Up Instructions:
Parents should enter the campus during their assigned pick-up time, bear left, and the first car in the line will be stopped just past the turn around at the back of the school. We will have staff there to facilitate this. Students from each wave will leave the back entrance and socially distance themselves along the turnaround loop. Parents will follow the line of cars around the loop and stop to pick up their child. Parents should carefully proceed around the loop and exit back down the way they entered.
***********************************************************************************************************
Based on consultation with the city, the safest place for parent pick up is in the rear of the building. To shorten wait times, we will have 4 waves of student dismissals.
Every Parent/Guardian is assigned a pick-up wave for their child.
Wave 1: 2:00 Student Last names: A-D
Wave 2: 2:05 Student Last names: E-K
Wave 3: 2:10 Student Last names: L-R
Wave 4: 2:15 Student Last names: S-Z

FAQ(s):
What if I need to pick up my student early?
A: Please arrange pick up prior to 1:30PM to ensure that you will not be caught by busses and traffic.
What if I am running late?
A: Please join the next wave. If it becomes a scheduling conflict, please call the office and we will adjust the wave assignment to ensure that your child is not waiting for extra time.
What if it is raining or other inclimate weather?
A: Please have students dress for the weather, but in extreme conditions, we will have students wait in the gymnasium and be dismissed individually (this may cause a slower release. We ask for your patience and understanding.
