Week of 9 February

Good Morning,

First, my apologies for the late Missives this week. I was also "hit" with the bug that has been going around and today is my first day to be up and around since last week. I had forgotten what it felt like to feel good!

As a result, it is going to take me awhile to get through all of the waiting emails. As I begin to get caught up on emails, etc. IF you sent me an email last week that needs an immediate response please let me know. I will be getting to each email as quickly as I can.

Of most importance....Second Semester After School Activity Sign Ups......

We have spent time rearranging the gym usage schedule to accommodate more MS activities. Below represents the most recent listing of activities. Students will be able to sign up through Moodle beginning tonight, after 6 pm. If you have any questions regarding the activities, please contact Mr. Tate (ttate@acsamman.edu.jo)

Ping Pong begins 18 Feb
Volleyball begins 27 Feb
Basketball begins 22 April
Badminton begins 23 April
(specific dates for each practice will be posted on Moodle as we work around already scheduled HS games, etc.)

Adventure Club dates:
22 Feb
15 March
3 May
31 May
(students do not have to sign up for ALL 4 dates...students will be able to sign up for the trips they are interested in)

All of these activities begin next week:
Chess Club-Mondays
Mural Club-Tuesdays
Spanish/Latin Cooking, Conversation, Culture-Tuesdays
Homework Club-Mondays
Math Lab-Mondays
MUN Club-Wednesdays

If you know you will not be returning to ACS next school year, please let us know so we can respond appropriately to new families who are applying to ACS and so we can have your necessary documents ready for you. If you son/daughter will require any recommendations for their new school, please allow a minimum of 1 week for those requests to be processed.

Thanks for your patience this week and once again my apologies for being late this week.

Have a good day,
