We had a great start to the new school year last week and are looking forward to week 2. There are just a few important reminders for all families that came up this week to ensure that our school operations during the school day run smoothly and safely. First, any parent needing to have a message delivered to his/her child MUST notify the office staff prior to 2:30 pm to allow for time during the busy afternoon to get the message to your child. Also, there are no student checkouts after 2:45 pm or after 12:45pm on 2-hour Early Release days due to congestion and inability to move freely through the parking lot/parent pick up area in the afternoon. Please make arrangements if you need to pick up your child early to do so before 2:45. Please also be reminded that food deliveries including fast food items to students at Avon Park Middle School during lunch or anytime during the school day is not permitted. This creates a distraction on campus for many reasons. Students will either need to eat a school lunch (which is provided to them daily free of charge) or pack and bring their lunch with them each day to school. Finally, all students need to be dropped off and picked up from the designated zone in the front parent drop off and pick up loop. This is in the front of school which is also the staff and visitor parking area. Parents trying to line up in the back of school at the beginning and end of the school day to drop off or pick up their child when they walk out of the gate creates a safety concern for our busses out back and our student walkers and is not permitted. Unless your child walks or rides their bike to school, please make sure to use the proper designated area in the front to drop off and pick them up. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding of these procedures that will be enforced to ensure the safety of all. We are looking forward to a fantastic week 2 at Avon Park Middle School.
Please join us for our first SAC/PTO meeting on Wednesday, August 19th, 2024 at 5:30pm in Room 201. Come meet School Administration, discuss upcoming calendar events, and school policies.
APMS Families: Please make sure that your child has their needed school supplies from the School-wide Supply list, including their 3” binder and dividers. Students will be setting up their binders in their Social Studies classes on Friday of this week so it is important that they come to school prepared with the supplies to do so.
