The Cougar News

Dear AMS Families,

Congratulations to our 8th grade class of 2024 on their last day of middle school! We had a wonderful celebration this morning and are grateful to the families who joined us in supporting our students. Despite the warmth of the gymnasium and the large crowd, the energy and love for our students were palpable and deeply moving. We strive to provide end-of-year events that reflect our school's traditions, honor our campus, and respect the time and commitment of our community.

Thank you to our PTA parents and volunteers for making this school year a success. We are incredibly fortunate to have the unwavering support of our community and deeply appreciate the individual contributions of each parent and family member who dedicates their time to our school. Thank you for donating your time and resources, especially during the end of the school year. 💗

Please review these final notes as you head into your well-deserved summer:

Forgot to Buy a Yearbook?

We have a few yearbooks available. Ms. Dabagian will be available on Monday, June 16th between 9:00 am - 2:00 pm. Stop by to purchase - until books run out (we have less than 20). $40.00 for a yearbook.

4th Quarter Report Card Distribution

• Report cards will be sent home today with students. This decision was made primarily to avoid the substantial cost of postage, which individual schools are now required to fund.
• Honor Roll certificates will also come home today with students who made all As or all As/ Bs this quarter. Be on the lookout!

2025 Spring EOC/ EOG Score Reports

• ISRs for Reading and Math EOGs, and Math 1 EOC tests will be available through PowerSchool to families until 5 pm on June 26.

• Science EOG (grade 8) ISRs will not be available until later this summer after scores are released for those new tests.

• NCDPI ISR webpage

• WCPSS Understanding EOG/EOC Test Results page

• Short explanatory video for parents

Wishing all of you a very happy summer break!

Mrs. Raleigh Bame

As WCPSS moves from PowerSchool to Infinite Campus, you may receive instructions to set up your online account. A draft of your child’s schedule may appear once you log in, but please note that schedules can change due to class balancing.

• Final schedules will be available by Open House in late August.

Wishing you a wonderful and relaxing summer!
