Protocols for Parent Concerns


Middle School is a tumultuous time for students and parents. This may lead to a classroom or building concern. We ask that you please follow the protocol outlined in the document below. We want to partner with families to create a postitive learning environment. Please make sure you are respectful in your communications and allow time to investigate and follow-up with you. We hope that having a system in place provides more clarity and allows us to help you resolve any concerns you may have.

If you're unable to connect with your child's teacher directly, we've provided a convenient link below to submit a parent concern form. Our main office will review these forms daily and reach out to you with next steps within 72 hours, initiating an investigation and ensuring resolution.

Drop Off & Pick Up Procedures

Our goal is that all students get to school safely and on time. As Dr. Gomez has shared, students should be dropped off by 7:40 to allow time to get to their locker and get breakfast. Below is a reminder of our parking lot directions and expectations.

1. Car Drop Off Line
  • All drop-offs and pickups are in this first (North) loop in the drop-off/pick up zone only. Cars are NOT allowed in the bus loop.
  • Pull all the way forward to the drop-off/pick-up zone to drop students off. Do NOT drop-off/pick-up students outside of the zone marked identified by the yellow and orange safety cones .
  • Students should be ready to get out of the car. Give kisses and hugs in the waiting line before reaching the drop-off/pick-up zone.
  • Please do not pass other drivers or buses.

  • All students must exit the vehicle from the curb side.

  • Please pull into a parking space if you need to exit your vehicle or come into the building.

  • Please be safe and courteous by driving slowly and refraining from listening to loud or profane music. Please remember that AMS is a drug-free/smoke-free campus.

  • Watch for students walking to a car.

2. Bus Loop
  • The Bus Loop is directly in front of the building around our staff parking lot.
  • Only students riding a school bus may be dropped off in this loop.
  • Do not drop students off in this loop from 7:15-8:00.
3. Walkers
  • Walkers need to cross at the light or at the crosswalks along Mustang Drive.
  • Walkers should walk on the school sidewalk and not in the parking lot.

Do NOT drop-off or pick-up students in the neighborhood along Cone Avenue or in the parking lot by the football field.
