As a reminder, school starts at 7:50 AM for all students. Students entering the front doors after the bell has rung will be marked tardy. Parents of late-arriving elementary school students should accompany their children into the lobby to sign them in. Middle school students may sign themselves in. Students must receive a tardy pass before proceeding to class.
We appreciate your efforts to ensure that your students are at school and in class on time!

| UPCOMING VOLUNTEER ORIENTATIONS |

If you missed the volunteer orientations held on Curriculum Night in August, the school has scheduled upcoming monthly orientations. Volunteer orientations ARE REQUIRED for volunteers who interact regularly with students, including crew parents, class readers, club volunteers, or field study chaperones.
At the orientation, you will learn how to be a volunteer at Amana, get help with filling required paperwork, and be able to ask any questions you have about volunteering. You will also learn whether your specific volunteer duties will require a background check, and be given instructions on how to get one.
Volunteer orientations will be held monthly from 12 - 1 PM on the following Fridays. All orientations take place at the North Fulton Chamber of Commerce, 11605 Haynes Bridge Rd #100, Alpharetta, GA 30009.

- January 23
- February 20
- March 20
- April 17
IF YOU ARE UNABLE to attend these times, you have two options. Emergency orientation sessions may be scheduled by contacting Lemiya Alexander at
lalexander777@gmail.com.
Alternately, you may view this presentation IN ITS ENTIRETY and fill out the form at the end, in addition to filling out the required forms (check the volunteer approval process page for details).

| REPRESENT YOUR FAVORITE COUNTRY AT WORLD DAY |
|
Amana's annual World Day event is coming up! This year, it will be held on Saturday, October 25th, 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM. You are warmly invited to represent your country of heritage (or one that you happen to like!) at a booth during the event. We are looking for folks to help with the creation of the booths, collection of materials for it, and staffing the booths during the event. You don't have to own the whole process for a particular booth, just sign up for any part of it that you are excited about.
Sign up here, or contact Laila Swanson at nswan_07@yahoo.com for questions.
World Day is a reincarnation of Amana's traditional International Festival. This year, we are aiming to return to the roots of the event as it existed in the early days of our school. The emphasis will be on sharing the diverse cultures that make up the Amana community. In addition to the country booths, the festival will feature food vendors and local entertainment.

 Only one more week to send in those Box Tops in with your little ones. We'll be collecting box tops until October 24. This year the winning class will receive a free Sky Zone party!
Last year Amana raised over $600 through Box Tops alone! Let's double that this year! For questions, contact Rose Louis at jamilapeek@yahoo.com. |
| SUPPORT AMANA WITH PURCHASE OF TYSON PRODUCTS |

 Amana is participating in the Tyson Project A+™ program, sponsored by Tyson Foods, Inc. Through this program, we can raise up to $12,000 for our school this year!
Here's how it works: Just clip and collect Tyson Project A+ labels from participating TysonŽ product packages and send them to school with your Box Tops for Education. Please be sure to send in the whole label, not just the Project A+ symbol. We'll collect the labels and send them to Tyson Foods, and Tyson Foods will send our school a check. Each label is worth 24˘!
Contact Tracie Burr at amanayearbook@gmail.com to answer any questions you have about the program. You can also find details, including the list of participation products, online athttp://ProjectAPlus.tyson.com.
