What clubs or activities are available at AHS?
AHS has over 50 after-school activities including sports,
academic clubs, fine art clubs, student government, student
outreach associations and student services. Read the "After-
School Activities Directory 2009-2010" which can be found online
or in your House office.
How do I join a club or activity?
Joining a club or activity is easy. First, contact the advisor
and let him or her know you are interested. Listen to the
announcements, go to the meetings and get involved.
Joining a sports team requires a few steps. Read the requirement
for joining an interscholastic athletics team in the student
handbook. Go to the athletics page for more information.
How can I get help with my schedule?
Talk to your guidance counselor. The guidance department is
ready and willing to help you customize your schedule.
What do I do if I need extra help in a class?
Don't wait! Talk to your teacher, guidance counselor and your
parents about the problem you are having ASAP. Develop a plan
with your teacher, counselor and parents to get extra help. Peer
tutoring or a more structured study time may be your ticket to
success. The library and computer rooms are open until 3:30 most
days.
How do I get my student ID card?
On September 14 and 15, your photo will be taken for your ID
card. The cards will arrive several weeks later. Your PE
teacher will give you your card. Come to the House of 2012
office if you have problems with your studnet ID.
When is picture day?
Picture day for the photo ID cards is September 14 or 15
depending on your gym schedule. Information will be given out
during the first week of school about ordering packets. Ordering
pictures is your choice and completely voluntary. If you want
to order pictures, you must order them on the day your photo is
taken. The same picture will be on your student ID card and in
the school yearbook. Dress nicely!
How do I find out all the rules of AHS?
Read the STUDENT HANDBOOK and the CODE OF CONDUCT to find out the
rules of the school. These documents outline what is expected of
you while you are a student at AHS. The "Discipline Code for
Student Behavior" in the STUDENT HANDBOOK gives specific
behaviors and the consequences for the behaviors.
The handbook is found by clicking the link on the main ASH
homepage.
The CODE OF CONDUCT is found at the ACSD website.
How do I find out about what is happening at AHS?
Listen to the announcements each morning. Look at the school
calendar and check your class webpage often. If you have
questions, stop by your House office and ask.
How can my family get involved at AHS?
AHS loves family participation! The Parent/ Teacher/ Student
Association is an involved group of AHS community members. You
and your parents can join the PTSA. You can find out information
about this great group by going to the AHS PTSA link on the AHS
homepage.
What school supplies do I need?
You should wait to buy your school supplies until after you have
met with all your teachers. Bring pens or pencils and plenty of
paper for the first week of school.
