Ram Family,

As we gear up for an important day of testing, we're bringing some school spirit to the mix! This Friday, students are invited to wear their favorite college or university shirt to school with their uniform bottoms. Show off your college pride and let’s get motivated for success!

For those not participating, please ensure you are in full AMHS school uniform. Let’s come together in style as we prepare for PSAT/NMSQT and SAT Day!

Blasting Beyond Expectations!

On the last Friday of each month, AMHS students earn a Spirit Day when they are able to follow school rules; for example get to class on time, dress in the AMHS Uniform, pick up after themselves in the cafeteria, etc.. Spirit Days are a privilege and not a right. Students can wear black or blue jeans (no holes, rips or tears and no sweatpants or leggings) with a Spirit Shirt to school on Spirit Days. In an effort to promote school spirit and have more students participate in our Spirit Days, we will be selling Spirit Shirts during lunches this week. Parents are welcome to purchase shirts as well. The cost of each shirt is $20 and payments can be made in cash only. Students who choose not to wear a Spirit Shirt with school appropriate jeans should wear their school uniform to school.

Parents can connect to our new learning management system, Canvas. To access your student's Canvas account, you must first create an account and log in through a desktop or laptop device. Below is a tutorial link to help walk you through the process of gaining parental access. 💡Once connected, parents are able to view their student's courses. This will help you to view your student's course material and help them to meet deadlines.
