Your Monthly Message from Principal Herman... |
Hello Eagle Families,
I know we are all looking forward to a respite and time with family this season. Remember, finals come up very quickly after break so the two weeks that students have off is a great time to plan for some catch-up to end first semester strong!
As I think about our Eagle staff who look to lead and draw out the potential in our Eagles, it is interesting to note that the word educate, which originated from Latin, doesn’t simply mean “to teach”. There are two additional meanings:
Educare--meant to lead or draw something out
Educere--used when speaking of moulding or training someone.
What we all do here is so important for everyone. Our goals for our Eagles really are the parent of all professions, skills and abilities. Please let us know how we can further support your Eagle as you know them best.
Hooray for another month of fun and learning at AHS!
With Every Eagle at heart,
Marilee Herman
Principal - AHS

NEW ATHLETIC CLEARANCE PLATFORM - PLEASE READ
Athletic Clearance - FinalForms: new online platform here
FinalForms saves data from season to season and year to year - information will only have to be entered once and is updated on an as needed basis. FinalForms also pre-populates information wherever possible for each student - timesaver!
***IMPORTANT: Even if prior athletic clearance information was provided via Skyward, it MUST be entered through the new FinalForms platform. Please reach out to Summer Henry, Athletic Secretary @ shenry@asd.wednet.edu with any questions or concerns.

The library has NO CHARGERS to "loan" out. We have 2 currently for IN LIBRARY USE that I check out to stay IN the library.
What the library CAN DO to help students
-
We have a Chrome Cart CHARGING STATION available. While the students' chromebook is charging they can borrow/check out a Library computer that they will swap out for once theirs is charged. So when they come to class with a dead chromebook they will need to bring that chromebook with them to the library to resolve the issue.
- PLEASE CHARGE YOUR CHROMEBOOK EVERY DAY!
- If a student has a broken charger---they can return the broken charger and exchange it for a new one.
- If a student needs a new charger---which I am learning is a thing because many have misplaced or lost them--there is a $35 charge added to their account--and they can leave with one that day and can pay another day.

Character Strong - It Takes All of US! |
|
The Family Character Dare of the Month is... |
|
No Tech Table Time!
This dare is one WE ALL NEED from time-to-time! Be intentional about a meal or time this week to absolutely disconnect from our social media, emails, phones and other tech distractions. It's simple, but helps us all connect to one another better - some time for just US... Try it and encourage Every Eagle!
For the kids, our Weekly Character Dare is generally posted in the Commons, but we also share it on social media via @AHSFlyEaglesFly (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) where we have over 6,000 subscribers who can be view these dares daily (just not during No Tech Time - lol). By working on these dares together and talking about them, we grow closer and more connected. The kids get this opportunity together in Friday's Every Eagle Advisory. The Staff have Weekly Dares too! The more WE do as adults, the more THEY do as kids. Family Dares simply tie it all together... here's Character Strong's C.A.R.E approach! It's a fun, simple approach to building Every Eagle's Commitment, Patience, Humility, Selflessness, Kindness, Respect, Honesty and Forgiveness - traits that lead to success beyond AHS. Enjoy your monthly Family Dares!
