Dear ALMS Community Members,
Welcome to the 2019 – 2020 school year! We are grateful to work with our fabulous students, talented staff members, and incredible families. Thank you for your continued collaboration as we work to support our students on their quest to become their personal best!
Here at Albert Leonard Middle Schoo
We thank STOMP Out Bullying (CEO/Founder - Ms. Ross Ellis) and The New York Jets Community Relations Department for recognizing our entire school community for our efforts, over the last six years, to eradicate bullying in our school. This year, for the 12th Annual Blue Shirt Day, World Day of Bullying Prevention, we ask all community members to #BlueUp on Monday, October 7th. It is critical that students stand together in solidarity and make this the day that bullying prevention is heard around the world.
Please stay up to date with our latest news and announcements by following us on Twitter or Instagram! @ALMSNewRo!
Our PTA is actively involved in all aspects of our school, and we are a better school as a result of our partnership and strong home/school connection. This past year, Anne Todd and Melissa Panszi-Riebe served as our PTA Co-Presidents. We thank Ms. Todd for her two years of service as our PTA President and will miss her this coming year! We look forward to our continued partnership with our 2019/2020 PTA Co-Presidents: Melissa Panszi-Riebe and Kristen Bamberger.
Cheers to a wonderful school community and a phenomenal 2019-2020 school year! Please check our website and feel free to call or email with any specific questions you may have.
With appreciation,
John Barnes

8th Grade Cap & Gown Ordering Information (Time-Sensitive)
Dear Families,
Below is a reminder about 8th grade camp and gowns for students who have already ordered and for students still interested in ordering.
Families who have pre-ordered caps and gowns will have a choice in whether they receive a cap and gown or a monetary refund.
We are working with our central administration to coordinate initiatives involving students picking up their caps and gowns/yearbooks/PTA swag-bags etc. in the upcoming weeks. We are asking students WHO ALREADY ORDERED their caps and gowns to complete the following survey HERE (we sent this out on 5/22/20). We will send an update out once we receive confirmation of next steps and the finalized plans.
Students who did not submit a cap and gown order, but are still interested in obtaining will also have the opportunity to order a cap and gown that can be shipped directly to their homes. Please note there is a slight additional charge for this method ($29.00, instead of $25.00), but this accommodates students who did not submit their orders before we left on March 10, 2020.
Some of you have shared that you would still like to order an 8th-grade cap and gown even though there will not be a traditional in-person transition ceremony. We have arranged for you to order a cap and gown directly from a vendor. To that end, we are happy to announce our ALMS Transition Ceremony Caps & Gowns Website! Zolnier, our transition ceremony supplies partner, has created a portal through which you can have your Transition Ceremony Gown Set delivered directly to your home using a contactless delivery process. Zolnier has made it very simple to make your transition ceremony order. The set includes a Cap, Gown, and Tassel in our school color: Royal Blue. If you would like to add a white stole, there is an additional charge that is available on the website when you place your order.
Follow these simple steps to place your order:
You will receive an email verification of your order along with instructions to track your delivery once it has been shipped.
