We will be holding a drive-up student materials pick up and drop off of school-owned materials on June 9 and 10 in the AES bus loop. This will be done on a sign-up basis, so that we can offer flexibility to families based on individual schedules, as well as to follow health department recommendations.

Armel yearbooks will be available during the student materials pick-up days June 9 & 10. Purchase on MySchoolBucks in advance or pay by cash or check at pick-up. Each fifth grade student will receive a yearbook, compliments of the PTO, to honor their accomplishments at Armel!
