AMI Information:

During parent teacher conferences, your student’s teacher shared AMI (Alternate Methods of Instruction) instructions and materials. The first 6 snow days will be AMI days. Students and staff will complete the school day from home and the day will not need to be made up at the end of the year. If you have any questions regarding AMI day instructions, materials, etc. please reach out to your child’s teacher.
