SCHOOL PICTURE DAY
Dear Families,

We are excited to have Village Photography take portraits of your child on Tuesday October 6, 2015.  Students are to dress in uniform this day. We will take class pictures in addition to individuals.

Your child's portrait is something that both of you will cherish for years to come so I encourage you to remind them to bring their best expression. 

We look forward to a great Picture Day.     
FAMILY DIRECTORY INFORMATION
The Amana Family Directory is now available on the Amana website.  To access it, please use the following:
 
Username: 10YearsStrong
Password: 10YearsStrong
 
The Amana Family Directory was established to help build a stronger community for our families within the school. We hope that Amana family members will use the directory information to contact each other about campus related activities such as classes, co-curricular and extra-curricular programs as well as off-campus social events.

Students will be listed by homeroom then alphabetically by last name, first name. The information provided is limited and private. Non-Amana individuals do not have access to the directory.
