AHS Faculty/staff news

Good morning all- I hope you enjoyed the weekend. We are almost there...3.5 days. If you want to wear pj's and have a reading day on Thursday, please do it! If you want to find other ways to relax and bond with your students, that works too. I hope you take some time this week to wrap up before the vacation and find an opportunity to build relationships.

 Good morning- We will meet in the library for our faculty meeting this week at 3:05pm. We will be discussing the new mask policy as well as the concept of difficult conversations with students. Anyone who is involved with student activity accounts will meet with Christine Graham for  the last 10 minutes of the meeting to review some financial information. Please remember to take attendance every X-block in FlexTime Manager and to not allow students who are not assigned to you to remain in your room.  Class meetings will be held Monday through Thursday (seniors to freshmen) so we can have time to discuss the expectations around the new mask policy as well as a few other issues. If you notice a gender neutral bathroom closed please hep out by opening the door. Students are reporting they are frequently shut and locked. Have a wonderful week!
