We, the undersigned concerned students and parents of the Amherst Regional Middle School, as well as incoming students to the school, are respectfully protesting the proposed schedule change to the school, to be put into effect September 2015. We do not believe that this is in the best interest of the student population, and the school in general. We do not support the loss of Chinese as an option as a World Language. We do not support the 50% loss of real language instruction. We do not support only having Music (Orchestra, Band, Chorus) every other day, as opposed to four days a week. We do not believe these changes provide an equitable education and will negatively affect our ability to excel on these disciplines long-term. We ask the School Committee to consider this petition while making their decision. Every signature counts, so tell all your friends!
