AMS Families, Hybrid Instruction returns on Monday, March 1, 2021. Group A students will attend in-person classes on Mondays and Tuesdays (Remote W-F). Group B students will attend in-person classes on Thursdays and Fridays (Remote M-W). Group C (Fully Remote) students will continue remotely with no change to their schedule. Student Arrival and Dismissal: The opening bell will ring at 7:40 am. It is at this time that students will enter the building. Dismissal is at 12:15 pm. Students are not permitted to stay after school and should not arrive before 7:35 am. Students should be dropped off at the designated locations in the front parking lot. We ask that you do not park and walk your child to the entry doors in the morning and please do not wait at the doors for dismissal. 6th grade students will enter Door #2 in the morning and exit Door #2 in the afternoon. 7th grade students will enter Door #3 in the morning and exit Door #3 in the afternoon. 8th grade students will enter Door #4 in the morning and exit Door #4 in the afternoon. Staff members will be at these doors assisting students. It is strongly recommended that you set up a routine for dismissal. Attendance Line: If your child is going to be absent from school a parent/guardian must call the 24-hour Attendance Line at (732) 596-4210. Please make certain to state your child’s name, grade, and reason for absence, please speak slowly and clearly. Please report it by 7:30 AM. COVID-19 Attestation Form/Face Masks: Each morning that your child is to attend school in-person, there is an attestation form that you MUST complete in Genesis. This form must be completed prior to 7:40 AM. The form is currently available for you to complete daily. We ask that you begin to create the habit of completing this form, if you have not already started. As per Dr. Zega, if a student reports to school 3 times without filling out the attestation form, they will be moved to the fully remote group. Students will be required to wear a face mask while in school, not a shield or gaiter. Two masks are encouraged, one to wear and one as a backup. School Issued Devices: 8th grade students are required to bring their charged iPads to school on in-person days. 6th and 7th grade students are required to bring their charged Chromebooks to school on in-person days. If an in-person 6th or 7th grade student has not yet been issued a Chromebook, they will receive it during the Week of 3/1/21. Students are not permitted to bring personal devices. Food Services: Lunch will be distributed at dismissal along with a breakfast for the next day in a plastic bag at the assigned dismissal doors. Meal distribution for those in-person students will be a grab and go process and should be eaten at home, not on the bus or along the way home. Meals will be distributed to all students as they exit the building. All students are currently eligible for meals. Locker Regulations/PE: Students will NOT be given a hallway or physical education locker this year. Students will participate in physical activities in gym classes. Students will NOT be changing their clothes and MUST be dressed appropriately (clothing and sneakers) on days they have gym. Backpacks: Students are encouraged to carry backpacks this year.
