I want to encourage parents to use EZschoolpay.com to close out their lunchroom charges as soon as possible. By Federal Guidelines, those accounts can not be in the negative at the end of the year. If you are not set up to pay online you can contact Mrs. Moore at the Central Office to make arrangements.

Alma Spikes Self Reporting for AMI Days 1-10
Student: _________________________________
Teacher: _________________________________
I verify, to Alma Spikes Elementary, that the student listed above, completed Alternative Method of Instruction (AMI) materials for days 1-9. These days are for March 17-20 and March 30-April 3. Day 10 doesn’t not need to be completed because we started week 2 of PBS AMI Materials on April 6.
I understand that credit is given for completion of the material and not the correctness of the answers given. By signing below, I am stating, as a fact, that the student completed the material to the best of their abilities.

Alma Spikes Nurse, Tiffany Gugle will be at the building for parents that need to pick up medicine from her office, Monday, April 20th from 11:00-12:00 noon. This is the third and final attempt to dispense medications. Individual appointments will have to be made after Monday.
Preschool Parents: Students that were, or are enrolled in the ABC Program are expected to complete AMI Packets. However, parent paid positions could not be expected to do so. If new directions are given by the state, I will relay them ASAP.
Alma Spikes Nurse, Tiffany Gugle will once again be at the building for parents that need to pick up medicine from her office. Wednesday, April 15 from 10:00-11:00 am.
Pocahontas Food Program
Parents are asking about picking up student items such as classroom materials or supplies. The plan is to wait until Spring Pictures and Yearbooks have arrived so that all the pick ups can be done at one time. Projected for mid May. Thank you for your patience.

The AMI materials building at Sutton Baptist Church looks like this, it is easy to find in the parking lot. Thanks to Sutton Baptist Church for letting us use the parking lot.
The AMI material buildings are up and running. Thank you to Chad Overman for allowing us to use his buildings during this unusual time. This one is at the American Made Store.
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. .
FYI!!
Everyone is invited!! Mr. Pipkin would like everyone to join “Alma Spikes Art with Mr. Pipkin” on Facebook. I hope you join the page for art fun.
This is not a requirement or part of AMI responsibilities. (Search the title if the link doesn’t work)

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.
