RMS (AMI- Alternatibe Methods of Instruction)
Get & Go Packet Procedures for AMI Pick- Up
Date: April 9th- 11th
Note: Please remember to follow the CDC guidelines and practice safe distancing.
Drive into the bus lane in the front of the school.
Before exiting your vehicle make sure there are no more than four (4) people in line near the container waiting to retrieve documents.
Grab a pair of gloves from the box on the metal cart
Underneath the awning near the front doors is a Large Wooden Storage Container.
Inside the wooden container are the hard copies of student AMI packets in plastic containers that are labeled by grade level and subject for Math, English, Science, and Social Studies.
Additionally there are containers labeled Music (Band and Choir), Art, and Business (Keyboarding, CTE, Robotics, and EAST Lab).
Please make sure that you retrieve one packet from each container specific to your individual child. How can my child submit their work once it is completed? It is our preference that your child takes a picture of the completed document and email it to your designated teacher. This can be done via cellphone or other devices. If this is a difficulty please contact your teacher.
Thank you!

STUDENT EXPECTATIONS FOR AMI INSTRUCTION: We understand that many families may experience challenges in scheduling. The most important expectation is completing and submitting assignments as close as possible to when they are due. Teachers will offer digital face to face lessons with students 2-4 days per week. Students should make an effort to attend live instruction. Sessions will be recorded. Download suggested student expectations and AMI schedules here: https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/652090/robinson-middle-ami.pdf
