Attention Alma Spikes Parents,

What we know at this time about school related items:

The Arkansas Department of Education stated that by the end of the week or early next week, DESE would let us know what the rest of the school year was going to look like.

PBS AMI Materials start next week, Monday, April 6. We will be asking students to complete Week 2. They should skip week 1 because that time period was covered with our local AMI packets.
This link will take you to access the PBS materials. http://dese.ade.arkansas.gov/divisions/learning-services/alternative-methods-of-instruction
Week 2 will be linked for printing or downloading from that page when it’s available.
Hard copies are available in the following locations starting Friday, April 3rd.
Biggers Postoffice
Sutton Baptist Church
American Made Store
Main School Campus-in front of Jr. High and M.D. Williams.
Please only take what you need. Refrain from taking extra copies.
There are drop-off boxes so completed packets can be returned. This isn’t required, you can hold all packets until a later date if you prefer.

The Student Feeding Program will resume next week. Pickups will be available on Monday and Wednesday with individuals receiving enough for five breakfast and lunches. Refer to the schedule on the previous post.

The Food Backpack Program is currently discontinued and you are referred to the Feeding Program mentioned above.

Student pictures and yearbooks have not arrived yet, however, we will design a pickup plan once that happens.

I want to remind parents that AMI materials should not cause a negative issue within their home. For our primary grades, at Alma Spikes, they are for attendance records and not graded to reflect performance or affect classroom academic grades. .

If you would like to print a copy of the AMI day materials, but need assistance, I'm told that the Randolph County Library would be able to help.
