📞 District Phone System Upgrade – August 14

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve communication and safety, Amherst Exempted Village Schools will be upgrading our district-wide phone system on Friday, August 14.

Beginning at 7:00 a.m., district phone lines may be unavailable for much or all of the day while the transition takes place. While we hope service is restored sooner, we appreciate your patience as this important upgrade is completed.

The new system will enhance our emergency response capabilities by providing more precise location information to 911 dispatchers if emergency services are ever needed.

📌 Please note:
• District phone numbers will remain the same.
• All district phone service will be restored by Monday, August 17.

Thank you for your understanding and patience as we make these important improvements to better serve our students, staff, and community. 💚💛

More Reading Café fun from Mrs. Escher’s Kindergarten class at Powers Elementary School! 📚

Students enjoyed spending time reading with their special guests while sharing some delicious snacks along the way. It was a wonderful opportunity for our young Comets to show off the incredible progress they’ve made throughout the school year with someone special by their side.

These kindergarteners are more than ready for first grade next year! Great job, Comets — and a big shout out to Mrs. Escher for creating such a meaningful experience for her students and families 💚💛
