Happy Monday!
I hope you have all enjoyed the Family Reconnect Weekend. We are lucky to enjoy today off to celebrate the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. but this day does remind me of how much still needs to be done. Students at AHS are the kindest I have ever worked with, yet we are dealing with regular incidents of discrimination and behaviors that cause hurt to groups that are different, whether it be because of their skin color, religion, sexual or gender identity, and a host of other reasons. We have always taken behaviors that hurt other students with the utmost seriousness. As we move into 2018 we will continue to find ways to educate students on how to treat all members of the AHS community with respect and kindness. I hope today offers you some time to have conversations about positive, kind, respectful behavior with your child as well as how to address hurtful behaviors when they encounter them. I fear we still have such a long way to go to achieve MLK Jr.'s dreams, but my hope is that AHS students can make a positive impact on the world as we work to build a community of respect.
Mid-term exams:
Mid-terms are at the end of the month: here is the mid-term exam schedule . Students only need to attend for their exams. However, the building will be open regular hours and teachers are available outside of exam hours for students needing extra help. The attached schedule shows regular class meeting times so students can plan when is the best time to meet with teachers if they need to.
