Children must stay at the social from 5pm - 7pm. It is not an option to come and go throughout the event.
1st round Audition sign-up - The Sound of Music
Auditions for this year's production of The Sound of Music are right around the corner! First-round auditions for all Grade 6–12 students will take place right after school on November 9th, 16th, and 17th in either the Theater or the Black Box. This round is specifically for students interested in lead and supporting main characters—ensemble role auditions will be held separately in January.
To prepare, please check the drive link. You will find specific folders for each main character containing their required audition song (with music track) and the selected monologue/dialogue. You must audition using the exact song and script provided for the character you are trying out for, and both must be fully memorized. Make sure to sign up in advance for your preferred audition date on the sign-up sheet provided. Break a leg!

Submit Your Audition Video: Once your interest form is submitted, you will receive an email containing a link to upload an audition interview video, where you will answer three short questions.

We have 7 weeks remaining in this semester, and report cards will be here before we know it! During MS Conferences, your teachers outlined specific strategies to help you grow in each subject.
Always remember: teachers give feedback because they sincerely believe in your potential and they want you to succeed.
Take ownership of your learning by reflecting on your conference feedback and setting one specific goal in each class to work on between now and winter break:
Reflect: What was one strategy your teacher suggested to help you improve?
Set a Goal: Make it clear and actionable (e.g., "I will check Google Classroom every afternoon" or "I will not sit next to (friend) so I am not tempted to talk").
Take Action: Consistently apply that feedback over the next 8 weeks to finish the semester strong.
You have the tools and the team behind you—now show yourself what you can accomplish!

I hope everyone has settled in and gotten back into the swing of things. This is a quick reminder to return any books you borrowed over the summer. If you haven't returned them yet, they are now officially overdue.
Stop by the LC to see Ms. Kelli and me! We would love to help you find a new book, and you can share a summer takeaway or a new school year goal on our display board.
Be sure to check out our LC Resources page! It includes research tools, study tips, and our library catalog so you can browse our collection anytime.
Just a reminder that you are welcome to stop in and check out books during lunch, breaks, and after school. We are always happy to give you suggestions or help you find a book.

Things for MS to remember in the cafe:
The cafe is ONLY AVAILABLE DURING LUNCH (not breaks)
This is a quiet area (people 5 meters away should NOT understand your conversation) - this space is very open and noise travels to the Library side which can interrupt learning.
NOTE - On Thursdays, the cafe closes at 3:30 p.m.
“ Ms. Diala, thank you for being such a great assistant! You are the best and you are so awesome and thank you for always helping me! ”
You & your friends can send us a shout-out for any teacher—just tell us who and why, and you’ll see it pop up in this section soon! 🎉
👉 To do that, just email Ms. Diala at dgammoh@acsamman.edu.jo or swing by her office and share the details!
