ACTIVITY BUS  
AMS offers after-school transportation by bus to your home after 4:30 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for students that need this assistance to get home. Students will sign up for the Activity Bus each time they attend a club or activity on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.  When there are large numbers of students riding the bus, the drop off process could be as late as 7 PM. This varies from day-to-day, depending upon the number of students staying after school for After School Homework Assistance (ASHA) and after school clubs. If you are able to pick up your child from ASHA or afterschool clubs at 4:30, we invite you to do so.
