Classes will be called to the gym by subject area. Please have students leave their bags and phones in the classroom. Nick speaks for approximately 45 minutes, then has time for questions. Students will be able to speak to him after his presentation, so we will monitor who stays to speak to him during x-block. The APS Safety Committee meets on Thursday at AHS, so there will be a variety of guests in the building.  We also have a faculty meeting on Thursday afternoon. Please let me know if you have anything to share. Here is the exam schedule for mid-years . Please let us know if you have any questions. Have a wonderful week!
