AHS "Catchup Room" on select Saturdays
Saturday, Feb 20th 8:30 - 11:30 am
CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP

Last semester we started a new program, "The Catchup Room", to help students that need additional support and time in their classes. This free program is open to all students and is hosted throughout the semester on select Saturdays. This program will continue this semester and we will have our first session on Saturday, February 20, 2021, from 8:30-11:30 am. We have found that students that attend walk away feeling supported and back on track. Teachers will recommend students to attend, but parents may also sign their child up by filling out this form. Please know that all students can use some extra time to focus on their assignments, projects, and assessments. Please consider exploring this opportunity.

Covid 19 FAQ


How to Improve Ventilation in your home

Staying home with only members of your household is the best way to keep SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) particles out of your home. However, if a visitor needs to be in your home, improving ventilation (air flow) can help prevent virus particles from accumulating in the air in your home. Good ventilation, along with other preventive actions, like staying 6 feet apart and wearing masks, can help prevent you from getting and spreading COVID-19.

CLICK HERE for ways you can improve ventilation in your home. Use as many ways as you can (open windows, use air filters, and turn on fans) to help clear out virus particles in your home faster.
