Good morning, Anoka Middle School for the Arts students and staff. Today is Wednesday, September 17, Day 1 on your schedule.

Today for lunch: Nachos 

Attention all students: Great job on your Fastbridge Math test yesterday. We appreciate your hard work during these assessments. Remember, you will be taking the Reading Test tomorrow. Make sure to bring your wired headphones! You need them for the test. You will not be able to use AirPods or other Bluetooth-connected headphones. You will test with your Period 1, Day 2 teachers. You will report directly to your Period 1, Day 2 classrooms at 8:25 am tomorrow, as we will not have Connections. Please bring your fully charged Chromebook, charger, wired headphones, and try your best!

Homecoming Spirit Week Reminder!

Don’t forget: tomorrow is Adam Sandler Day!

Today is a DEAR or  Drop Everything and Read.   Literacy and reading are such an important part of your education, and we dedicate each Wednesday in Connections as a time for the entire school to read on their own.
