Mr. Anderson had his students work together to create open ended questions over a reading passage. He taught his students to use a rubric to score questions in a previous lesson. He then had them use the rubric with question stems to create their own. After they created their questions, the students worked together to answer them.

AMS administrators are truly the best. They look for ways to support our staff by:
*fielding parent/community calls and concerns before they come to the classroom
*implementing only necessary data tracking to use for documentation to make classrooms more efficient
*handling discipline quickly
*appreciating teacher "voice" in his/her classroom instruction.

Thank you AMS admin team for being a cut above the rest.

It feels like everything is pumpkin spice these days, so why not kindness? I'm kidding, but now that I have your attention, I just wanted to tell you that you are doing an amazing job. Education is a field full of people who give so much of themselves and care so deeply for others. You are one of them.

We are proud of you and we want you to know that your counseling department is here to support you however we can! The bottom line is, we think you're pretty rad and we want you to know that we're quietly cheering you on from the sidelines.

Ms. Hatfield took the initiative to decorate our bulletin board in our 8th-grade teacher's lounge. She placed a bucket for every member of our 8th-grade team for us to fill with affirmations.

Your resident IT guys just wants to say. This staff and student group is amazing. I taught for 2 years and my experience was tough. The students were tough. I had some that were amazing gems. I had teachers who were gems. Most of the teachers were glowing examples of amazing glowing, shinining examples of excelence in education. Many of those I worked with ended up in our district. They are the hardest of hardcore reachers of students hearts. They want to reach the youth and make a difference in their community. Here's where it gets personal. In our community. They are able to make that difference. They can use their power to create a genereation in conjuction with parents, to move our society to a more knowledgable and capable generation. I love our diverse group of teachers. This is what the next generation needs. Everyone we have shapes our students. Opening minds is our job. Not funneling herds of new thinkers to an ideology. Exposing them to ideologies for their journy into highschool education is what we do. We do it well. I want to elevate our social studies group in this post. I want to elevate our science group in this post. I want to elevate our STEM groups in this post. Everyone. You are the future of the state of Texas. Be proud.

Sometimes ARD meetings are scheduled weeks in advance; sometimes they are scheduled last-minute. They all must have at least four people attending - sometimes many more. No matter what the situation, our campus is amazing when it comes to working together to make these meetings happen. Whether you are an administrator, a case manager, a gen ed teacher or another ARD committee member, you all cooperate, cover and attend without fail. If I call you, text you or chase you down in the hall, you always, always show up without complaining! Thank you for making it run smoothly and almost always uneventfully. You are awesome, and I appreciate you.

Teachers and Staff,Today was unexpected, and I want to thank each and every one of you for remaining calm when the community was in chaos.  Your professionalism helped our students and parents feel at ease and safe .  I want to especially thank our office staff and those who stepped up to help in the chaotic moments.  As usual, Mrs. Whitaker, Mrs. Baeza, Mrs. Bejarano, and Mrs. Jeppesen remained calm and helped ease the frustration of parents during today's events.  Mrs. Luna, Mrs. Valencia, Mrs. Bueno, Mrs. Roman, and Mrs. Rodriguez stepped up to help in the office as well.  These ladies helped in the process of allowing us to check out a large number of students at one time.  Thank you for being willing to step up in the time of need.  Over the last several years, we have faced many challenges.  You have always shown resilience and worked together to overcome these challenging times.  I am very proud to work alongside each and every one of you.  YOU ROCK AMS!!!
