Happy Labor Day!

I hope you had a wonderful long weekend and a successful first days of school.

Thank you for working together with cell phone expectations. Remember that students shouldn't leave class with them during instructional time. 

We will have class meetings the week of September 3, during X-block. Students will be called out of 2nd period at 10:15am. All students in grades 9-11 are receiving new Chromebooks and these will be distributed prior to the meetings. 
All meetings may last a little longer.
9/3- Class of 2028
9/4- Class of 2027
9/5- Class of 2026

The AHS Edpuzzle Pro renewal has been set up and runs through 9/2025.

Everything is ready to go for your teachers. Your next step is to share this information to help get them connected:
  • Teachers that are already registered on Edpuzzle have been automatically upgraded, so they are all ready to go!

  • Teachers that are new to Edpuzzle can get started using the school’s unique upgrade link to create their account: https://edpuzzle.com/schools/join/acbd64
Our self-paced training courses are another great way to learn the basics - I recommend the Level 1 badge for anyone new to Edpuzzle, and the Coach24 certificate for your trainers.


Advisor positions, etc.:
Just a reminder to follow the directions sent by Chris Mathieu to log-in to PowerSchool to officially apply for the positions you currently hold. There are several positions that have not been applied for and/or accepted. If you are not sure, please go to the website. If you have received a contract letter, please make sure to accept it.

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 afternoon- I hope you have been able to dig out from the storm. Tomorrow is sure to be a little chaotic, and I fully predict we will have students who don't understand the exam schedule changes and families who may keep their students home. We will need to be flexible! Stay warm! Here is the schedule for tomorrow:  G block exam: 10:30 am- 12 pm Lunch: 1st (12:05-12:35) - English, math, & science             2nd (12:40-1:10) - history, world language, unified arts, special education, ELL & wellness Students will need to be asked to remain in their class for first lunch and return to the class they were testing in for second lunch. We will do our best with this but are not going to stress about kids being elsewhere. We have no way of knowing how many G block students are staying for A block.  A block exam: 1:15 pm- 2:45 pm Along with the updated midyear exam schedule .  Grades for Term 2 will close on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, a...
