Happy end of the 2022-2023 school year!! We made it! I also wish all of the dads a belated happy Father's Day as well as a Happy Juneteenth to all. This was a weekend of celebration for many reasons.

Here is the End of Year Check Out form. Please print a copy of everything needed and turn it in to the office anytime after 10am. 

Grades will close at 10am. If you are giving a make-up exam and can not meet that deadline please let Jess know. As a reminder, print your grade verification so that it includes Term 4, Final Exam, and the Final Grade columns (even if you did not use all of them) and turn it in with your Check Out Form.

We will meet as a faculty for the final time this year on Tuesday at 10:30am in the auditorium.

The building will be open for summer hours starting Wednesday, June 21. You can access your classroom from 8am-2:45pm. Please reach out to the front office or Bob to make sure your classroom is accessible. 

We have currently planned the New Student Orientation for Thursday, August 24 at 4pm. We will start with the Club Fair in the cafeteria. All clubs and activities are welcome! Plan to be set up by 3:45pm.

I hope you all have a restful summer break. Each and every one of you put so much into this challenging school year and I think we can agree that a break has never been more deserved. 


Here are some important notes for planning for the coming year:


AHS school hours 8:10am - reporting time
                               2:45pm- dismissal

Family Reconnect Weekends:
October 7-9, 2023

Faculty and department meetings will remain the 2nd and 4th Thursday's of the month. Our first faculty meeting will be on September 14, 2023 at 2:55pm. Meetings will be held after school this year.

As you start your planning for next year please make sure to enter items on the calendar behind Linda's desk so she can add them to the AHS Google calendar. You also need to SchoolDude your event so that it is reserved and scheduled with facilities.

Enjoy your summer.

Good afternoon- Thanks to everyone who helped to make New Student Orientation a success last night. It was great to see so many students and staff in the building. I am looking forward to seeing you all on Monday. We start at 8AM in the auditorium. There will be some members of the Class of 2026 painting their parking spots on Monday afternoon. Please try to park in the faculty parking lot or in the back of the building if you usually park in the student section.  New staff, please join the staff  Google Classroom . All information sent to faculty/staff will be housed here. The  class code is a5ca6a4. The custodians have been working hard to make sure each classroom has the correct number of desks (minus study halls). There may be a few classrooms off a desk or two based on student moves at the end of this week. If anyone has furniture in their rooms that is not being used, please let me know. We are short some L-shaped desks, under-desk file cabinets, and bookcases....

Good morning- I hope the adjustment to the clocks springing forward hasn't thrown you off too much. I love that it means more light in the afternoon/evening.  On Thursday, March 13 year 2/3 teachers from Milford and Nipmuc High Schools will be here for learning walks. I have shared a schedule with impacted teachers but it may change over the next few days. Thank you for your flexibility and willingness to welcome new educators.  I am sure you saw Jim's message that the School Committee will hear our proposal on Competency Determination for the Class of 2025 at their meeting on Wednesday, March 12. I hope to share an update at our faculty meeting on Thursday, March 13, after school in the library . The meeting will involve MCAS training. As you are aware, the state has moved to a new portal so it will be important information for everyone to hear. Training for staff that do not attend faculty meetings will be scheduled at another time. Following the training, we will be walking...
