Reminder: Grading Group
AHS is considering making changes to our grading system, namely how we report grades and the scale that we use. Changes under consideration include reporting letters (A+ to F) instead of numbers (47, 64, 83, 95, etc) and using a 4.0 type scale instead of a 45 to 100 one. If you would like to be part of this group, please complete THIS FORM. We will meet the evening of Blue Pride Night, November 7. We will provide more details to those who complete the form.
Reminder: Guidance Department News
The AHS guidance department is proud to announce that we are hosting an FSA ID Night on Thursday, November 21, 2024. From 4:00 to 6:00, we will provide assistance in creating FSA IDs for seniors and families so everyone is ready to file the FAFSA in December. At 5:00 there will be a brief presentation on the financial aid process. Pizza will be served during the presentation. Please register here: https://forms.gle/ZXgfFTPkMzZJvVfS6.
