DAY 3
We have a new schedule starting on Sunday, March 8.
The change will impact everyone because we will be sharing lunch with HS.
MS will use the field on Odd days
HS will use the field on Even days
At lunch - if you hear a siren, please move to one of our inside spaces immediately.

♻️ 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? 🌟🌟🌟
This is YOUR moment! Whether you sing, dance, act, or have a unique talent to share—step up, stand out, and show us what courage really looks like! Check out the upcoming performance opportunities and email Mr. K to join the excitement!
Drop in a "Just Because" for someone who has made a difference for you :)
Visit the Wellness Survey page.
Over the next period of time, our Middle School community will be spread out, with some of us learning on campus and others learning from outside of Jordan. This transition can be a challenge for everyone, but you have the power to make it easier!
On Campus: If you know a classmate’s close friend has moved or is currently away, reach out. A simple "hello" in the hallway, choosing to sit with them in class, or inviting them to join your lunch table can go a long way in making someone feel seen and supported.
Off Campus: For our friends learning virtually, don't let the distance stop the connection! Send a quick message to check in or organize a time for a video chat after school to catch up.
Give it a try! It only takes a moment to reach out, but that small gesture can completely change someone’s day. Our community is at its best when we look out for one another, no matter where in the world we are.

From the Wellness Survey
Ms. Stevens (sorry if I spelled it wrong) helps me understand math and shows me better ways to do math. Thank you, Ms. Stevens.
Miss Martinez she makes everyday happy and brings light to any darkness on campus.
Mr. Spencer and Mrs. Stevens are both very kind, fun, and supportive teachers that are always making class a nice space to be in.
Mr. Thomas made me laugh when we were playing around with the backscreens of our computers.
Mr. Fouchy is really helping with my math skills I don't know where I would be without him.
Ms. Dina Qanqoush
Mrs. Martinez, school is just better and easier with her around, she made a huge difference for me in the past, even though I'm still not 100 percent well now.
Ms. Van Cleave. I think Ms. Van Cleave deserves a shout out because she's always extremely helpful when it comes to work and I feel comfortable asking her for help on my work or feedback. She always also does so much for our ELA classes to be fun and balanced. She give us breaks, time for stretching, time for feedback, time for talking, and she always has a fun activity mapped out for us on Thursdays. She always does so much for every student to make sure we are all comfortable, and I think she deserves recognition! :)
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!
