Attendance:

• Reminder for students and families - children must have attended school on the day of the social for them to attend an evening event.

Child Safety Measures:

• Children must leave campus between 3pm - 5pm (Student Council exempt).  There will be no supervision for the time between school and the social.  Please help your child make plans off campus.

• Children attending the social must remain the entire time - parents can start picking their children up from 6:45pm

• In order to ensure a positive experience for everyone - all MS Expectations will be adhered to.

For Our Parents:

• Recognizing the challenges with Thursday evening traffic, MS Parents are invited to use of the Parent Coffee Room (near the gym) to wait/connect/work during the social.  Tea/Coffee will be provided.

Beginning February 1, in order to streamline attendance reporting and documentation, we will be asking all MS families to start putting absences directly in PowerSchool.

We kindly request that, after February 1, you report any absences through PowerSchool.

Eg.

• Whole day absence

• Later arrivals

• Early departures

• Appointments in the middle of the day

This video shows you how to report a student's absence.

Should you have any issues regarding PowerSchool, please contact powerschool@acsamman.edu.jo.

As we move into colder weather, we wanted to remind you of our Snow Day process.

If we are notified “last-minute,” there will be no learning expectations set for your children that day.

If we have advanced notice and/or if the snow day extends to multiple days, then Middle and High School students could expect the following:

• Online learning from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., regular rotation schedule. 

• Teachers will post assignments and instructions on Google Classroom by 10:00 a.m., designed for students to work independently at their own pace or synchronously with the teacher present via Google Meet.

• During their assigned teaching blocks, teachers will be available online to provide one-on-one support through email, Google Meet, or chat.

We recognize that not all families may be able to participate fully in online learning due to potential outages. Please prioritize your child’s well-being, and know that our counselors are available via email for support if needed.
