Good afternoon-
It was a quiet day at AHS. I know many were out because of fears around school safety. The local and national trends are disturbing to watch at any time, but the week of the Newtown tragedy makes it that much sadder. I have feel lucky to be in a school community where we have not seen the level of disruption some schools have been faced with. Each family and student reacts to these reports and incidents differently and there is not an approach that works for everyone. A colleague shared this tip sheet which may help when talking to your student about school violence: “School Violence Prevention: Tips for Parents & Educators”. As always, we encourage students to report concerns to a trusted adult or to use the Say Something app.
The schedule is attached here.
After break we have three weeks until mid-term exams. For half of our students this will be their first experience with exams. Please encourage your students to check in with teachers about their progress and seek out teachers for extra help as needed.
The contestants are: Daniella Brodskiy, Anna Caruso, Justin Galang, Noah George, Brady McGuire, Haykuhi Muradyan and Priscilla Oluokun
The judges are: Mr. Alberts, Ms. Nemeth, Prof. Rufo-Curran, Ms. Reap and Ms. Twomey
The evening will be MC'd by: Maeve McMahon and Chloe Roberts
