COVID Update

Amana families, we are noticing an uptick in COVID cases. Please keep your child at home if they are exhibiting any symptoms. Additionally, if there is an individual at home who has tested positive for COVID at home, please fill out the COVID form below.

You can forward any questions to our Clinician, Ms. Benita Fowler, at bfowler@amanaacademy.org. Thank you!
Middle School Dance Cancelled

Unfortunately due to rising COVID numbers in Middle School, today's Middle School Dance has been cancelled. Though this disappointing news, the safety of our students, staff, and families as we conclude the year is our highest priority.
If you would like a refund for the dance from PTO, please email amanaparents2@gmail.com by Thursday. If not, those funds will be used as a donation to the PTO. Thank you as always for your continued understanding and support!
IMPORANT: Please Maintain Traffic Rules in Parking Lot

Dear Amana Families:

Amana has always prided itself on being a good neighbor to the community at large, and we don’t want to jeopardize that track record by giving a negative first impression to our newest neighbors. We have been contacted several times in recent weeks by residents of the new Villa Magnolia housing development going in next door. Residents have reported negative interactions with drivers coming from our parking lot and using the exit from the subdivision to turn onto Main Street. While we can’t control thru-traffic from non-Amana drivers, we do ask that Amana families avoid using this as a means to exit the parking lot during morning and afternoon carpool.  

What to do: If your commute requires you to turn right onto Main Street when exiting the parking lot, please use the entrance between the pharmacy and the bank. If you need to head left on Main Street, please utilize the Roswell Street entrance, take a right out of the parking lot, and then a left on Main Street at the light; or, alternately, you can take a left onto Roswell Street and then a right onto Old Milton to access Main Street, 400, etc.   

To reiterate - please avoid cutting through the Villa Magnolia subdivision during your morning and afternoon commute.  If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.

Thank you for helping us be good neighbors!
