In an effort to be transparent about our school's priorities, we are posting the following data to ensure that our Mamba families are aware of the state of affairs at South Mountain. You can find this data in our front lobby, as well as in our monthly newsletters.

Dear AMS South Mountain Families,

We are looking forward to a fantastic month! Please click the link below to read this months newsletter.

We are striving to build a “Culture of Learning.” We are motivating our scholars to be “Life-Long Learners.” It is through our efforts to motivate scholars to learn, they will achieve goals, build problem-solving skills, change old habits, and learn how to cope with challenges and opportunities.

Our “Culture of Learning” will lend itself to understanding setbacks are normal but developing resilience can help carry on and pick up where you left off. We are asking our families to join us in our quest by encouraging your scholar to continue to set new goals. Think about what they want to achieve next week, next month and next year. Tackle one goal at a time so they do not feel overwhelmed. Help us find ways to keep the momentum up. Our partnership is integral and essential. Together, we will create an atmosphere of Success.
