Appreciation Notes for Teacher & Staff Doors - Students Call to Action - May 1!

Lastly, let’s get our students to show their appreciation with “Appreciation Door Posters”! On each teacher or staff's door there will be a sign that says, " THANKS FOR GIVING US THE PASSPORT TO SUCCESS". We would love for students to fill out a sheet that says, "We think the world of you because...". Please have your child complete a sheet for their homeroom teacher and an additional teacher/staff member. To make sure all the staff are accounted for, we’ve added some suggestions broken up by students’ last names.

  • Students with a last name beginning with A - B - C - D – E, please complete a sheet for an Arts, Drama, or Music Teacher
  • Students with a last name beginning with F - G - H - I – J, please complete a sheet for a Technology, Administration, or Counseling Staff Member
  • Students with a last name beginning with K - L - M - N – O, please complete a sheet for a Library or Office Staff Member
  • Students with a last name beginning with P - Q - R - S – T, please complete a sheet for a Physical Education or SSS Staff Member
  • Students with a last name beginning with U - V - W - X - Y – Z, please complete a sheet for an IA, Janitorial, or Lunch Staff Member

You can find the sheet at the top of this page. Please have your child give the sheet to their teacher(s) or staff member(s) on Monday, May 1st. The teachers and staff will display the sheets on the doors of their classrooms or offices. Our students have the PASSPORT to success due to the teachers and staff at American Academy, so let's give them a week they will never forget!

AA Staff Holiday Gift Fund – November 15th – December 9th

The PTO is happy to announce that they will be doing the Holiday Gift Fund again this year. This much-loved tradition is an opportunity for families to give cash gifts to the teachers and staff of American Academy in lieu of individual holiday gifts. This is a great way to do something extra special during the holiday season for these people who have sacrificed so much and are the lifeline in our children’s education. The gift fund packet was sent home with your student on Friday, November 18th. You can also find a printable copy on the PTO Website. If you have any questions please email Audrey Metcalf at [email protected].
