Good afternoon-

It's hard to believe we only have two school days remaining of the 2021-2022 school year.

Grades will be available in iStudent and iParent by Friday, June 24, 2022 after 3pm.

Summer work for AHS students can be found here: Summer Assignments. This link can be found on the main AHS webpage as well. 

Please take some time this weekend to review iParent and check that your student's full name is spelled correctly. This is especially important for rising seniors. If there are any mistakes in the spelling of their name or any other information, please email Ms. Chaney immediately. 

If you have an incoming 9th grade or new to AHS student mark you calendar for New Student Orientation on Thursday, August 25 at 4pm. This is a great event for new students to get to know the building as well as our values and norms. More detailed information will be shared later in the summer. 

Any student taking the math placement test should plan to take the test at AHS on August 25 at 2pm.
