Good Evening,
I hope everyone had a enjoyable, relaxing weekend.
An important thank you to the students.....the level of maturity and attention during our evacuation drill last week was remarkable. I have never experienced a more attentive group of students during such an activity. We all shared in an ice cream treat on Thursday to celebrate their success.
This will be a busy week for us in the Middle School so.....
This week begins Team Building Week. Our first group of Gr 8 students went to the High Ropes Course today while the rest stayed on campus to participate in different teamwork activities. See below for some pics on how they spent their day.
Gr 7 will have their trips on Wednesday and Thursday this week and Gr 6 on Sunday. Please ask your son/daughter to log into their Moodle for more information.
BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT is Wednesday. Please join us in the gym for an opening presentation and then spend 30-40 mins. visiting your son/daughter's classrooms. Teachers will be available for informal "meet-n-greets" and answer questions, however, the evening will not be conducive to individual parent/teacher conferences. We look forward to seeing you.
After School Activity information and sign ups have been posted on student Moodle accounts. Sign ups will be available through the week. Please encourage your son/daughter to participate. Questions about the activities can be sent to Mr. Tate (ttate@acsamman.edu.jo)
We will have a "Mock Online Learning Day" on Tuesday of this week. This day is designed to help students troubleshoot problems they may have if they are absent, or we have snow days again this year, and have to complete assignments online.
The MS production of Robin Hood will kick off this week with auditions beginning tomorrow. Ms. Hire is the director for the play if you have any questions. (jhire@acsamman.edu.jo)
LAPTOPS-a few ways you can support your son/daughter's use of their laptops while at school are:

LAPTOPS-a few ways you can support your son/daughter's use of their laptops while at school are:
- ensure there is a word processing program on their laptops while at school. We recommend using MS Word.
- ensure their laptops have a good battery installed
- ensure any parental safety controls/passwords, etc you have still allow students to use their laptops while at school
Have a good evening,
Rhonda Isley
MS Principal
