MAGNOLIA SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL CONTINUE AMI PACKET DISTRIBUTION The Magnolia School District will continue to provide Alternative Methods of Instruction (AMI) packets to the students of the District. These packets will include assignments and activities for the days missed from March 30- April 17 as directed by Governor Hutchison. The packets will include assignments for AMI days 6-20. AMI assignments for students in grades K-12 will be mailed to students for these days. AMI packets for Walker Pre-Kindergarten Center students will continue to be delivered at designated lunch pick-up locations. AMI assignments are also available online on the District website at magnoliaschools.net. The website provides links for each campus website and each campus has teacher pages that provide resources to assist students. As other resources become available, they will be posted on the website and social media.

Gov. Hutchinson announced today that schools will remain closed until April 17, 2020. Next week is scheduled Spring Break. We will be working hard the next few days to make decisions on how to best deliver effective instruction throughout the mandated closure. All school events are postponed until further notice. Thank you for your continued patience during this time.

All campus offices will be closed for the remainder of this week. The District Administration Building will remain open from 8-12. State final tickets can be refunded at the District Administration Building. Meals will remain at scheduled times and locations.

ACT RESCHEDULES TESTING DATES The safety of students and test center staff is ACT’s top priority. ACT has rescheduled its April 4 national test date to June 13 across the U.S. in response to concerns about the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). All students registered for the April 4 test date will receive an email from ACT in the next few days informing them of the postponement and instructions for free rescheduling to June 13 or a future national test date.

Some clarification on AMI Information for this week: AMI assignments are made available online at www.magnoliaschools.net under the News section. Links to each campus are provided. AMI assignment packets may also be picked up on the individual campuses from 1:00-3:00 today. For anyone who is unable to access the online assignments or pick them up on the campuses, the AMI assignment packets will be available at the following lunch pick-up locations Tuesday-Friday, March 17-20: o Central Elementary Cafeteria Drive Through- 11:00-1:00 o West Side Park-12:00-12:30 o South Side Park-12:00-12:30 o McNeil Old School-12:00-12:30 o Waldo Old Fire Station-12:00-12:30 o Village Old School-12:00-12:30
