AMS:
Dismissal and after school activities/sports: At dismissal, all students must travel home. Only students who are on a team or involved in a school activity supervised by a teacher may stay at school. You may not choose to stay at school to watch a game or hang out. If you are not on a team or at a club meeting you may not ride a late bus home. As a middle school student, you must be with a parent or guardian if you are attending any game either at our school or the high school. It is essential that all students on campus after school are with a coach, teacher, or other adult for safety and supervision purposes.
