2021-22 Registration Begins in Mid-January

As we finish the 1st semester of the 20-21 school year, we have been diligently planning for registration for the 2021-22 school year.  We know that we are going to have to be flexible with the registration roll out process based on our instructional model for the Spring Semester.

Our plan is to go into your student's English class starting in the middle of January to present course options and assist students with selection of classes.  This year course selection will be done virtually through Student Vue. Students will have the opportunity to go home and discuss their selections with you and make any necessary changes at home.   We will then spend the rest of January and the beginning of February returning to English classes to meet with each students briefly in order to answer questions and verify that their selections are appropriate for graduation and their post secondary goals.  If you have any questions about the registration process, please don't hesitate to reach out to your student's counselor.

PSAT for 10th & 11th Graders
January 26th, 2021

The PSAT exam will be administered on January 26, 2021 to all 10th grade students as well as 11th graders that registered to take the exam. Detailed testing information will be sent out in mid-January. The week before the exam students will receive their testing room assignment, so that students know where to report on test day. All 10th grade students have the opportunity to take the exam regardless of their second semester placement (SOL, EDL, in-person). There is not an option to take the exam at home, all students testing must report to Arcadia High School on the day of the exam. For more information about the exam, please refer to the Collegboard website or refer to these links: Information about the PSAT exam and PSAT Practice Tests and Sample Questions.

Covid 19 FAQ


A small word from the CDC 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.

Athletics
Message from AHS Asst. Principal Mr. Gaston on 12/23/20
On December 23rd the Arizona Interscholastic Association (AIA) paused the start of the high school winter sports competition that includes soccer, basketball, and wrestling until the week of January 18th. Practices will continue until competition begins. We are also continuing our COVID-19 safety protocols of symptoms logs, temperature checks and requiring those who do not feel well stay home. The AIA, with the input of their Sports Medicine Advisory Committee, has determined that there will be no spectators allowed at games across the state if we are able to compete after the winter recess. If you have specific questions about athletics please contact me
