March 11, 2022


Good afternoon-

It was nice to see so many smiling faces this week. I hope students are enjoying the return to a level of pre-Covid normalcy while also feeling safe and mindful of others level of comfort. From what I saw, there was nothing but respect for individual choices in the halls this week.

The window for students to complete course registration will remain open through the weekend!!! The Student's Quick Start Guide to Course Recommendations and AHS Program of Studies are attached here. Students are reminded to choose 6 elective courses and rank order them.

Parent approval of courses will begin on Monday, March 14. Any students/parents who wish to meet with a teacher to discuss a course recommendation are asked to reach out to the teacher to schedule a time to meet. You are welcome to reach out now and meetings must occur before a course override. The Parent's Quick Start Guide to Course Recommendations is attached here. 


On Thursday, March 17 the CARES team and cultural student union are co-sponsoring a celebration of the diversity in our community with a flag ceremony. If you have been in our cafeteria you have seen the flags that represented our community when we moved into the high school in 2006. The clubs have spent the last several months updating the flags that currently represent the cultures we come from. We will celebrate coming together as a community and the reinstatement of our flags, old and new, as students and staff members share short statements about their culture, tradition, or connection they may have to our flags. 

Friday, March 18 is an Early Release day. Students will be dismissed at 12:45pm. Any student with 3rd lunch may leave at 12:15pm.


On Wednesday, March 30 we will once again administer the Positive Community Norms survey. Students will take the survey during X-block. Please review the letter attached here for more information on the survey.  A copy of the survey will be available in the front office for anyone that wishes to review it.


Please enjoy this month's edition of our student newspaper: Union Street Journal
