• Hello AMS families! Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year!!

    Schedules

    Schedules will be released in Infinite Campus in the afternoon on July 8th! Please login to your portal to make sure your schedule looks correct.  If you have a concern regarding your schedule, please email Mrs. DeCaro at DeCaro.Charina@CUSD80.com 

    AMS Bear Down Day

    *Optional* You may choose to come to campus on Wednesday, July 10th from 8-11am to purchase items in person at the bookstore, F119.  Lines may be long, and all items may be purchased through your parent portal if you are busy that morning.  

    AMS LINK Day

    LINK Day is orientation for students new to AMS.  AMS LINK day will be July 15th from 10-12 (students only).  Please meet in the main gym.  Transportation will not be provided for AMS LINK day.   

    Uniform and PE Clothing

    AMS Students are required to wear white or hunter green plain polo shirts, black or khaki plain dress shorts or pants. These can be purchased through Amazon, JCPenny, Target, Old Navy, etc.  Please review the dress code policy on the AMS website to see examples.

    PE Clothing (ONLY for PE students) can be purchased at in-person Bear Down Day (July 10th 8-11am), or through your parent portal today!  If you purchase PE clothing through your parent portal, your student will need to visit the bookstore in the first week of school to pick up their items.    

    Bell Schedule, School Calendar

    Please see the bell schedule and school calendar pages of the Bear Down Days website. 

    *The bell schedule will be the same for AMS students and Basha High students. 

    *AMS students follow the high school yearly calendar for CUSD.  That means that AMS will not have early release days for parent teacher conferences when indicated for Jr High students and AMS students WILL have early release days on finals days in December and May.  These changes will be noted in our newsletters as those dates approach.  

    Lunch

    As a general rule, AMS students take "A" lunch.  To create a lunch account use www.myschoolbucks.com or the app!  You may also put money in your student’s lunch account at in-person Bear Down Days or send your student to school with cash or check to be deposited into their lunch account.

    School Supplies

    We will have a general school supply list available at Link day on July 15th.  However, this will be a general list, not specific to your student's needs.  We would recommend bringing just the basics to start, and waiting to purchase school supplies until after school begins, so teachers can communicate specific needs for each class.  

    Transportation

    *If you will be dropping off and picking up your student:  

    Please see the map on the AMS webpage for more details.

    Morning drop off - Please enter at the light off Val Vista (Basha Bear Drive).  Follow the cones.  Students will go to the cafeteria to wait for the bell.  You will exit the parking lot at the same light you came in at.  This is the preferred/designated drop off loop for AMS.  However, you may use the Riggs Rd  parent drop off area or the back student parking area off of Black Hills Way to drop off or pick up students.   

    Afternoon pick up - Please wait 5 to 10 minutes after the bell to relieve High School traffic.  We prefer you use the Val Vista entrance and loop towards the Library for parent pick up. 

    *If you will be riding the bus:

    Please fill out the following form to request bussing to AMS for the 24-25 school year.
