ACS Gym
Tickets are a donation of 15JD (minimum) and can be collected from Ms. Iman in the HS Office.
General Reminder - MS students should not be eating in the MS Commons at lunch time.
It's allowed during the short break because there is not enough time for you to go elsewhere, but at lunch time you should eat downstairs and then come to the MS Commons once you are finished.
♻️ Action Required ♻️
Dear MS Students,
The environmental action group for Explore 2.0 is collecting ice tea cups🧋🧋🧋 for an art project they will do with some of the ES students. Make sure to put your cups in the recycling bins around the school.
Thanks for helping us stay green and get creative! 🌍✨
FINDING YOUR GRADES
Some students had mentioned they were having trouble seeing their grades in PowerSchool. We have checked the system and believe everything is set up correctly there. To help students, the PowerSchool Team created THIS SLIDESHOW.
ALL Middle School students can use the cafe.
Things to remember:
The cafe is ONLY AVAILABLE TO MS DURING LUNCH
MS students should NOT be there during breaks
This is a quiet area - people 5m away should NOT understand your conversation
“Middle School, are you ready to shine? 🌟🌟🌟

Even with four months left of school, this is the time of year when the "moving season" conversations start. Whether you’re the one who found out you’re moving or the one who realized your best friend is, it’s completely normal for the "early feels" to kick in.
How to navigate these changes with your friends:
Don't "Pre-Exit": If you’re leaving, it’s tempting to start mentally checking out now to protect your feelings. If you're staying, you might feel like pulling away from friends who are going. Don't do it! Don't trade 120 days of awesome memories for 120 days of "pre-sadness."
Be a Good Listener: Some people are excited, and some are really nervous. Be the friend who asks, "How are you feeling about the move?" instead of just asking where they’re going.
Keep the Focus on "The Now": It's not the time for goodbye cards! The best way to support each other is to keep making plans, keep laughing at lunch, and keep showing up for each other every day.
Give Extra Grace: Change is stressful. If a friend seems more sensitive or distracted, they might just be processing the news. A little extra patience goes a long way.
