We are taking this week to celebrate staff for putting their hearts into APMS! Today, because we are so "Fond" of "U", we had a chocolate fountain fondue bar set up in the teacher's lounge for them to enjoy throughout the day. Showing appreciation this week would not have been possible without the community support so we would like to say a huge thank you to Cool and Cobb Engineering Company for their donation to help make this week possible! We could not do this without the community support!


Parent Night is tonight here on campus from 5pm to 7pm. Please come and show your love for APMS as we have a lot to celebrate! We will have pizza, Kona Ice, and door prizes as well as cheer performances, Progress Report pick-up, and you can learn how to access and read your student's FAST Data. We will also be highlighting all of the successes and progress students have made throughout the year in their different subject areas. Without you, this would not be possible so we can not wait to see you there this evening!

For a brief time today we had a partial power outage on campus. This did not impact our normal operations and the power has since been restored. We are excited to have all of our students back on campus today!

All afterschool activities at APM for this afternoon are being cancelled due to concerns with bad weather. This includes afterschool tutoring and volleyball tryouts.

Happy Holidays from the Faculty and Staff of Avon Park Middle School!
