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!

Taking an active role in your upcoming Parent-Teacher Conferences puts you in the “driver’s seat” of your own learning. When you participate in these conversations, you gain a clearer picture of your strengths, the areas where you can grow, and the goals you are working toward.
Presenting your progress helps you build valuable communication and self-reflection skills, while ensuring your teachers and parents are all on the same team to support you.
Most importantly, being part of the conference shows that your education is something you actively shape and lead - not just something that happens to you.

Announcement From the LC
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.
We can’t wait to see you!

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.
"I would like to give a shout-out to Mr. Cool for always making math class more fun and enjoyable! He also makes it engaging which helps me to focus more and to learn in an easier way!"
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!
