Leaving School Grounds
AAM encourages its students to work towards perfect attendance in all classes. Students should only be leaving school
early
as a result of illness, or for pre‐planned events such as university visits. These requests should be requested at least
one day prior, and require the permission of the Section Head.
Students may not leave school grounds without the express permission of their parents and their respective Section Head
or Section Coordinator. It is the school’s preference for parents to come in and sign their daughter out of school. Students
may not leave with other family members, friends’ parents, or drivers without the school first securing permission from
parents, and then signing out with reception. Non‐emergency medical appointments should be scheduled after school
hours.
Students who do not have a pre‐planned leave and students who are leaving school for other reasons that are not related
to medical emergencies must be signed out and picked up by their parents. Students who have more than 3 Early Leave
requests per semester, must be signed out by the parent or legal guardian in all circumstances. Students who are ill may
leave with drivers only after the illness has been verified by the school clinic.
Beauty appointments, wedding preparations, and other non‐emergency activities that occur during the school day are not
considered to be reasons for early dismissal and require that the parent physically sign out the student. These absences
will be counted towards the accumulated unexcused absences.
Secondary students should refer to the attendance policy and resulting consequence for grades.
Any student on
probation for attendance issues including late to school or early leaving will only be released to parents.
Visitors
Visitors are welcome to AAM; however, each visitor must register with security and present identification to receive a
visitor’s lanyard. After clearing security, all visitors must register with reception Mothers and fathers must wear their
assigned parent lanyard to approach reception. Visitors who wish to go above the ground‐floor foyer area must be
escorted by a member of staff. Students and any teens or young adults may ask to speak with a member of reception but
are not allowed on campus unless they have a pre‐arranged appointment by a member of staff.
Lockers
Secondary students will be assigned keyed lockers. The purpose of these lockers is to hold school‐related items such as
books,
stationary, and PE equipment. Any food placed in a locker should be in a sealed container and be eaten that day.
While we will try our best to retrieve lost items, AAM is not responsible for the loss of any valuables that are stored in
lockers, or elsewhere in the school building. All lockers are subject to inspection by a member of the administration, and
any contraband items will be confiscated. You can access your locker by using the assigned key.

If student loses a key, they must pay a replacement fee. Students should remember to keep their locker locked at all times
and do not keep valuables in your locker.
NOTHING may be kept on the floor around your locker.
Items Brought to School
Students are not to bring any dangerous, prohibited or distracting items to school. Dangerous items would include
lighters, matches, flammables, or any sharp objects. Prohibited items include any inhalants, tobacco products, alcohol,
medication, Red‐Bull, or other form of energy drink. Distracting items include noise‐makers, water guns, stink‐bombs,
silly string, or any other item that would detract from school learning. It is the responsibility of the parent to ensure that
inappropriate items are not brought to school.
Lost and Found
Please check with reception for any lost or found items. While we will do our best to help locate items, AAM is not
responsible for any items that are brought to school. We discourage valuables from being worn or brought into school.
Student Life
AAM strives to develop the whole child by involving our students in many extracurricular activities. Students who
participate in these activities, on or off campus, and before or after school, must adhere to the guidelines and codes of
conduct that have been established. Failure to do so will result in disciplinary action.
All students at AAM are expected to participate in extracurricular activities. These activities will include sports, academic
support, clubs and student council. In addition to these activities, we have annual events such as art shows, fairs, musical
shows and various cultural events. Every student will be encouraged to find an event that holds interest for them.
Participation in our CHIPS program is mandatory as it takes place during the school day. Students must attend on time,
and remain in their designated area. Students who are non‐compliant in any of our school rules during the CHIPS
program will be held accountable and face disciplinary action.
Fundraising
Sales and fundraising activities may occur throughout the school year. Examples may include bake sales, dress‐down
days, or after school events. Any fundraising activity must be supervised and led by a teacher, and the proposal brought
forth by the teacher to the Section Head for approval. Approval for events should be sought at least two weeks ahead of
the actual event. Any funds must go towards student life or a recognized charity. No one is compelled to participate in
any fund‐raising activities. While donations and efforts towards fundraising are appreciated, no student or parent will
gain any special privilege as a result of their participation and/or donation. PLEASE NOTE STRICT NEW LAWS ABOUT
