AMHS Weekly Newsletter August 22, 2025

Dear Saints Family,

The halls of Aviano Middle High School were buzzing with energy and excitement this week as we welcomed students back for the new school year. From our eager sixth graders stepping into middle school for the first time to our experienced seniors getting ready to finish strong, every student had a positive and memorable start to the academic year. 

Students were greeted by teachers and staff with warm welcomes and encouraging words making the return feel like a fresh start filled with opportunity. Vibrant banners and decorations helped set the tone, easing any first-day nerves and sparking excitement for the months ahead. Seeing so many familiar faces reconnect and new friendships forming made it clear that this school year holds great promise.

None of this would have been possible without the incredible support of our community. A big thank you to our parents and families whose enthusiasm and involvement make all the difference. We especially appreciate our military families who remain the backbone of our school community.

Our gratitude extends to our military community, Student Government and School Liaison Officer, whose support helped make the first week so welcoming for everyone.

Finally, a huge thank you to our dedicated staff. Your passion, care, and commitment ensured a smooth and positive transition back to school for all our students. We’re looking forward to a year full of growth, discovery, and success.

From AMHS School Administration and Staff

Exchange School Meal Program
There are some changes upcoming to the Exchange School Meal Program collection of unpaid school meal debt.    Due to the large number of accounts that continue to go into the negative and are not paid in a timely manner, the Exchange Headquarters has introduced a third-party debt collection agency that will intervene at certain points (outlined in the attachment) when the balance remains in the negative.  

We would like to remind parents that they can set up reminders of a low/negative balance in linqconnect.com, the online account management app.  They can also check their balances or make payments by contacting the cafeteria or visiting their BX/PX customer serving counter.  Although the debt collection agency will be employed, the local cafeteria managers will continue to send negative balance reminders as a courtesy.

Facility Refresh 

We are pleased to announce that Aviano Middle High School went under a facility refresh during the summer months. We appreciate your patience and understanding as this important work was carried out.

Together, we are Saints Strong!
