If the checkout letter is signed and turned in by 1st Period on May 31st, then students can leave after exams are finished each day. Students can only leave with parent/guardian. Regular afternoon car line procedures will take place after each exam session on June 3,4,5.

It's not always about how you start the process, but it's always how you finish!
At AMS, we expect our students to finish the school year on a strong, positive, and productive note. All students have a clean slate starting in May! However, if a student is assigned ISS or OSS during the month of May, then Field Day will no longer be an option for that student. Let's finish strong!
