  • Dear Parents,

     

    We are excited to share a new opportunity with you here at Ayden Middle School!  This year we are beginning a new program just for our parents and guardians called AMS Parents University.  Parents will have the opportunity to earn credits through volunteering, attending events and participating in various school activities -- and when enough credits are earned, parents can earn an AMS Parent’s University Associate’s, Bachelor’s, Master’s or even a doctorate degree!

     

    We hope you will join us!  We look forward to have our graduates receive their degree at the End of the Year Awards Day.  

     

    Thank you!

    Ayden Middle Staff
