Mr. Timothy Lowie, Principal

Mrs. Alicia Boyce, Assistant Principal

Welcome back to our wonderful school!  I am so proud of our students, staff, and parents for all we accomplished last year and will continue to do this year.  Our sound instructional practices, doing whatever it takes to promote student engagement and high achievement, our first class PTA, and the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program are just a few things that make us stand out above the rest.

Thank you for being your child's first advocate in ensuring that the school year goes well.  Scheduling routines, getting to bed early, and proper nutrition can make our school day go smoothly.  Ask about your child's day, check their agenda/homework folder, look for notices in their backpacks, and read with them each evening.  Lastly PLEASE call me with any questions or concerns.  Communication is important to me, and a conversation or visit will help your child the most.

If you need assistance with anthing please call
757-2131.  Here's to a great year!

Congratulations to the new slate of officers and to all the students who ran for an office!

Rooftop Reading Rally

On October 2, Mr. Lowie and Mrs. Boyce went on the roof to keep their end of a deal!!  In June, they challenged AGM students and staff to read over the summer.  Keeping track of minutes on a calendar, everyone was determined to get them on the roof as part of the Summer Reading Rooftop Rally.  Based on the book The Principal's on the Roof by Elizabeth Levy, the AGM principals had no idea what they bargained for!!

Congratulations to all of our summer readers!!
