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, at 2:45 pm. 

Report cards will be available after 3 pm on Wednesday, February 4, 2026.


As I shared last week, APS principals are happy to share flyers for events that their students might attend here at AHS. If you have any other flyers to share, there is a link to the Community Bulletin Board on the APS website. This information is at the bottom of every school's newsletter each week. Here is the link for your reference.

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....
