El Grupo de Nutrición sorprendió a nuestros estudiantes con un almuerzo especial al estilo hibachi. 🥢 Los estudiantes pudieron elegir entre fideos salteados, arroz y pollo, mientras que también hubo pizza disponible para quienes prefirieron una opción más conocida. ¡Las largas filas y los platos vacíos dejaron claro que el almuerzo fue todo un éxito! Estamos agradecidos con nuestros proveedores de servicios de alimentación por crear oportunidades para que nuestros estudiantes prueben nuevos alimentos, amplíen sus paladares y disfruten de experiencias emocionantes directamente en las cafeterías de nuestras escuelas.
Septiembre es el Mes de la Concientización sobre la Asistencia, y nos complace anunciar las iniciativas de nuestro distrito para animar a los estudiantes a asistir a clases y participar activamente ¡todos los días!

Por último, ¡la escuela que logre la mayor mejora en la asistencia recibirá el trofeo "Comeback Cup"! ¡Únase a nuestros esfuerzos para reducir el ausentismo escolar y aumentar la participación en el aula!

Today, Allendale-Fairfax Middle School scholars participated in a schoolwide Town Hall focused on helping every student start strong, stay focused, and make choices that support a positive school experience.
As we continue through the 2026–2027 school year, we want to make sure our scholars have a clear understanding of school expectations and the support they need to be successful each day. Our Town Hall provided an opportunity to revisit important routines, answer questions, and reinforce the shared responsibility we all have in creating a safe, respectful, and productive learning environment.
Dress Code Expectations
Students reviewed the DOs and DON’Ts of our school dress code, including expectations for pants, shorts, and skirts.
We appreciate the support of our families in helping students arrive at school each day appropriately dressed, prepared, and ready to learn.
Morning Arrival & Checkpoint Expectations
We also reviewed the importance of arriving at school on time and being ready to begin the instructional day.
Students were reminded of our morning checkpoint procedures and how cooperation with staff helps us maintain a safe, orderly, and welcoming environment for everyone.
We also discussed items that should and should not be brought to school. Families can support us by periodically checking student bookbags and talking with students about bringing only the materials and personal items needed for the school day.
Classroom & Hallway Expectations
Students were reminded of the everyday behaviors that help protect learning time and create a positive school environment:
Show respect to teachers, staff, and fellow students. Allow teachers to teach and classmates to learn. Use respectful words and make positive choices when disagreements occur. Transition safely and efficiently through the hallways. Arrive to class on time and prepared to participate.
Our goal is to help students understand not only what the expectations are, but also why they matter to their own success and the success of others.
Creating a Safe and Respectful School Community
We also talked with students about the importance of treating one another with respect in person and online.
Threats, intimidation, harassment, and cyberbullying can negatively impact a student’s sense of safety and belonging. We want every AFMS scholar to know that they deserve to feel safe, respected, valued, and supported at school.
Students were encouraged to seek help from a trusted adult when they experience or become aware of a concern.
Families, Thank You for Your Partnership
Parents and guardians are an essential part of our school community. We encourage families to review the Student Code of Conduct with their students and continue conversations at home about responsible decision-making, respectful behavior, and being prepared for school.
The Code of Conduct is available in our weekly newsletter and provides helpful information about school expectations, policies, and procedures.
Our goal is to be proactive rather than reactive. By making expectations clear, reinforcing them consistently, and working together, we can reduce disruptions and protect the valuable instructional time our students need to learn and grow.
When students, families, teachers, and staff work together, we create the conditions for every scholar to succeed.
EVERY STUDENT. EVERY CLASSROOM. EVERY DAY.
Thank you, AFMS families, for continuing to partner with us as we set high expectations, protect instructional time, support positive choices, and create a school community where every scholar can thrive.
