This year, I encourage you to come up with new goals and work hard to achieve them! In math this year, please don’t be afraid to make mistakes, ask questions, challenge yourself, and problem solve- that’s what being a mathematician is all about! Be patient with yourself and believe in yourself; I believe in you! Together, we can make this a wonderful year of learning. -Mrs. Ivezaj

Additional Support

At AMS, we understand that math can be challenging, & we're here to help! If your child is finding math difficult, we plan to offer tutoring opportunities where they can get the extra support they need. Lunchtime tutoring may be available—stay tuned for more details. In the meantime, we strongly encourage students to ask questions during class to build confidence and deepen their understanding.
