AJHS Announcements

Friday, May 09, 2008

Students: You did not receive a schedule for next year if you have not turned in all of the required registration materials. See Mrs. Crocker in Office 1104 if you have any questions about this.

Attention 9^th Grade Students: Only students who have incomplete (periods without classes) 10^th grade schedules will be considered for a schedule change at this time. If you have a complete schedule, most likely you will not receive a schedule change as most of the classes at AHS are full. Please do not request moving classes from one period to another. It is fine for any of you to submit a schedule change, but it is very unlikely that you will receive exactly what you are requesting.

8^th grade students: Check your schedule to make certain all academic classes are correct and that you have electives listed. If a schedule change is needed, you must complete the schedule change form (available in the Counseling Office or with teachers) and return it to Mrs. Pickens or Mrs. Frazier. Most electives are full, so submitting a request to change electives does not guarantee it will be granted. The final day to submit a schedule change is June 2, no exception.

Cafeteria News: No charges will be allowed.

Parent orientation meetings regarding the student laptop program for 8^th and 9^th grade AJHS students next year will be held on the following dates: for 2008-2009 9^th grade students: May 13 (6:00 p.m.), May 15 (6:00 p.m.), July 31 (noon and 6:00 p.m.); for 2008-2009 8^th grade students: August 1 (noon and 6:00 p.m.), August 12 (6:00 p.m.), and August 14 (6:00 p.m.) All meetings will be held in the auditorium/cafeteria at AJHS. Seating is limited to approximately 250 people per session. Receipt of a student laptop is contingent upon parent attendance to an orientation session.

Students: Once you arrive on our campus, you are not permitted to leave until the end of the school day at 3:15 p.m. unless you are checked out by an authorized person through the school office. If you choose to leave our campus otherwise, you will be considered to be skipping school and will be dealt with accordingly.

Students and teachers: Use great caution when near the construction area around the cafeteria.

AJHS will not accept checks from students after May 9^th.

All books checked out from the library media center were due last Friday, Friday, May 2.

Are you planning on attending FCA Camp? You should-it is a great experience for both athletes and Christians. Please let Mrs. Cummins or Mr. Morrissey know by today.

AJHS has its own Relay for Life team composed of faculty and staff members who are committed to raising money and awareness for the American Cancer Society. Check out the “Pain the Town Purple” and the Batman team t-shirts. Approximately twenty team members will be participating in the Relay from 6:00 p.m. Friday until 6:00 a.m. Saturday.
