Host Families Wanted
AHS Spanish teacher Señor Bock is looking for host families for young people from Spain this summer.  The Spanish students range in age from 12 to 17, and are matched with families according to gender and age.  Joe and his wife, Paula, personally interview the children from Spain, as well as the American host families, to make the best match possible. They are in close contact throughout the stay to ensure a positive experience for everyone. 

Dates:  June 26-July 26.  

A $950 stipend is provided, as well as finder fees for recommended host families who participate. Spanish students may also attend camps, along with host children. Many families have made personal connections to Spain. For more information and testimonials, visit: 
homestaysusa.org or talk to Señor Bock.

"We were excited to host a student from Spain, thinking that it would be a fun and meaningful cultural opportunity for our son. As it turned out, hosting Hector was even more of a rewarding and enriching experience for our whole family than we could have ever anticipated.  We are looking forward to hosting again this summer!" - Current AHS Family


Trimester 2 Progress Reports have been sent home via email. If you have not received your child's report, please contact Kelli in the main office at your convenience.

Reminder: Parent-Teacher Conferences take place next week!
If you have not made your appointments, please call the main office immediately.
There will be NO SCHOOL and no before/after school programs on Wednesday, March 28 and Thursday, March 29 so that all staff may participate in these important meetings.
Standardized Testing at AHS

Please be aware that students in grades 3, 5, and 7 will participate in annual ERB standardized testing beginning Monday, April 2. Testing may last up to 10 school days. 

Please be sure your students are on time on test days, and that they are ready to participate in the test process. 

And, please remember that these are not state-mandated MCAS or PARCC assessments. These assessments are instructional tools. Through the results, we understand our students' strengths and weaknesses, and we are better able to monitor our effectiveness as a school. While we anticipate that our students will submit their best work, we do not want them to stress about these tests.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Melissa Earls, Head of School.
