ABOUT AMS REMOTE LEARNING:
Remote learning will look significantly different than the experience students had in the Spring.
Remote learning is structured with scheduled class sessions by period.
Attendance will be taken and grading will follow our traditional numeric grading process.
Students will be expected to participate in learning daily from 9am until 2:30pm, beginning in Morning Meeting with Google Meet each day.
