Reminder to Lock Your Car
Please remind your teenagers to not leave valuables in their cars or at least put them not within eyesight and lock their car doors.
We have had an incident of smash (the window) and grab (belongings) to a car in our parking lot over the weekend. If your student is an athlete or here for after school activities it might be prudent to let them know.

Donations for our Students in Need
Our amazing Community Specialist, Jennifer Gutierrez, works with AHS students in need to help them be as successful as they can in school and life. Sometimes, that means just making sure they have enough food to eat and clothes to wear. She keeps her office stocked with food the kids can eat after school or at home.
Currently, the following items are running low. If you would like to help by picking up an extra item at the grocery store and dropping it off in the front office, it would make a big difference to some AHS students.
FOOD DONATIONS
- microwaveable foods (ramen cups, mac and cheese, etc.)
- trail mix
- chips
- pretty much any snack!
CLOTHING DONATIONS
Sizes Medium, Large, Extra Large are the most needed
-
Every day clothing is always appreciated for our students in need
-
Prom Dresses - prom is coming up if you are ready to clean out your closet!
-
Graduation Gowns - if you have a past grad who doesn't want their gown, we keep a stock for new grads in need. Can be only gown, only cap, or both!
THANK YOU FOR ANYTHING YOU CAN DONATE OR SPARE!
For questions, please contact jgutierrez@susd.org

FROM AHS SOCIAL WORKER - WHITNEY HESS
SCEREENAGERS: Exploring how tech time impacts our kids development and what we can do to best support them!
In SCREENAGERS, as with her award-winning documentaries on mental health, Delaney Ruston takes a deeply personal approach as she probes into the vulnerable corners of family life, including her own, to explore her struggles over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction. Through poignant, and unexpectedly funny stories, along with surprising insights from authors, psychologists, and brain scientists, SCREENAGERS revels how tech time impacts kids development and offers solutions on how adults can empower kids to best navigate the digital world and find balance.
We have had many families reach out asking for the opportunity to view "Screenagers." Here are the links to the first movie and second movies! The producer said that all you have to do is to sign up on this link below, and then it will send the movie link to your email. We hope you find this community opportunity useful. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out.

No Illegal Substances on Campus
Vaping and tobacco and marijuana
Please remind your student that alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and other illegal substances* are not allowed on our campus. It is helpful that there is an ongoing dialogue to talk to your students about vaping, marijuana and tobacco use. If your student is having a challenging time with these substances or if you would like information to help your teen, please reach out to our social worker Ms Hess at whess@susd.org or our school nurses at arcadianurse@susd.org. You may also talk to your pediatrician or contact Not My Kid and check out their Project Rewind program https://notmykid.org/programs/project-rewind/ and other prevention programs within their organization.
