The Amherst Exempted Village Schools have partnered with Innisbrook School Supplies to provide parents with the option of purchasing next year's supply lists in a "Back-To-School" Pack that will be shipped directly to your home in August. You certainly don't have to purchase the "Back-To-School" Pack from Innisbrook if you enjoy shopping with your child over the summer but this may be a convenient option for some of you. Below are the supply lists for Powers, Harris and Nord and the ordering directions for each building if you are interested in the Innisbrook option. If you have any questions or need any assistance, please email Michael Molnar, Executive Director of Educational Services.

Details of the Governor's education funding plan were released last week. Under the proposal, the Amherst Schools would receive no increase in funding for the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 school years. We will keep the community updated as the proposal works its way through the legislative process over the next three or four months.

Amherst Volleyball Camp will be held June 24 - 27.  Download the registration form and mail it to Steele High School before June 17, 2013.
