Testing
You all did a great job this week with the ACT WorkKeys and PSAT 10. As we move through the next two weeks of testing, make sure you relax, get a good night's rest, eat a good breakfast, and come in with a positive attitude.
You must have a fully charged Chromebook and bring your charging cord. You should have completed the Device Readiness Check in your English class to be ready for the testing session. If you were absent you can complete the DRC with Mr. Whitscell in the Wildcat Den.
All electronic devices other than your Chromebook are NOT allowed in the testing area.
Please bring a photo ID to help speed up the check in process on test day.
Water and snacks are provided at the break. You may have clear water but it must be under your chair and not used during the testing sessions.

OK2SAY is the student safety program which allows students to confidentially report tips on potential harm or criminal activities directed at students, school employees, and schools. It uses a comprehensive communication system to facilitate tip sharing among students, parents, school personnel, community mental health service programs, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, and law enforcement officials about harmful behaviors that threaten to disrupt the learning environment.
Student Climate Team will be trained to conduct peer mediation for students who are in conflict with one another. The goal of having peer mediation at AHS is to help create a more positive culture in our school where both sides win and one party doesn't feel as if they are being treated unfairly. Please see Mr. Robarge in E110 (School Success) if you need help resolving an issue. Peer mediators don't take sides or place blame on anyone!
