Dear AMS Families,

Wednesday, October 30th: 8:00am - 4:00pm ~ Remote Conferences using Google Meets, invite will be emailed to parents the day before.
Please note the importance of following the in-person and remote day schedules to ensure success! At conferences we hope to share celebrations, progress/work performance, and next steps in learning.
To be prepared for conferences, please activate your Parent Toddle Account.
Toddle log-in directions:
You already have a Toddle Account set up based on your Powerschool email address. So in most cases you do not need to create an account.
Download the Toddle Family App on your phone, or go to the Toddle log-in window on your computer.
Go to the Toddle sign-in and then choose “family account.”

We registered the email address that you have listed in PowerSchool.
Toddle will then send you a code to your email address
Go to your email to locate the code, then copy and paste it into Toddle
New reports are available in Toddle!
Fall STAR Reading and Math scores are now digital! You will be available to access anytime and see scores and track progress from year to year electronically. (So much better than a paper report!)
Next week, an Approaches To Learning (ATL) Progress Report will be released. This report will include feedback about your child’s work completion, self-management, and collaboration in each class. In the ATL report, teachers will rate these skills on a scale of Outstanding, Satisfactory, and Needs Improvement. This will help you understand how your child’s work habits impact learning across the curriculum.
IB Grading is underway!
This is our first year of using IB grading and assessment school-wide, it is a work in progress for all. Please continue to learn along with your children and teachers!
There are some important differences between traditional percentage-based grades and IB criteria-based grading. There is a table below that highlights some of the differences.
