General Announcements

Warriors, it is always important that you attend all of your classes. Ask any upperclassmen and they will tell you that one of the keys to doing well in class is attending every day and being on time. For the next two weeks, your attendance will also be important in determining how our school gets funded. The Annual October Count determines how much money our school gets from the state, based on how many students we have attending. Please make sure you are making every effort to attend all of your classes every day. 

It’s that time of year for eligible juniors and seniors to start applying for membership in National Honor Society!  If you are a junior with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher, or a senior with a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher, then you are eligible to apply for membership.  Eligible students should have received a letter at their home address, inviting them to join and also explaining the application process.  If your GPA makes you eligible for NHS, but you haven’t received a letter at home, please contact Mr. Smith in the science office or Ms. Leclaire in the Language Arts office.  This letter also tells you about important informational meetings going on this week.  If you are applying for membership in NHS, you must attend one of these meetings to learn about the club and the application process.  There are four meetings being held for you to choose from: Thursday and Friday mornings at 6:55 in room C-9, and Thursday and Friday afternoons at 2:20 in Room
W-103.  Remember that these meetings are only for eligible juniors and seniors, so if you are unsure whether you are eligible, please contact Mr. Smith in the science office or Ms. Leclaire in the Language Arts office.

There will be a meeting for current members of National Honor Society this Wednesday at 2:25 in the Forum.  So if you're already a member of NHS, please be there after school on Wednesday.

Free Alive @ 25 class for AHS students October 15th, 3pm-7:30 p.m. The class is normally $39. To sign up go to the alive @ 25 website or there's a link on the schools website or talk to Deputy Englert.
