There will be different colored tickets for those who got personalization on their yearbook.
After May 21st, we will handle the rest of the distribution out of E206.

After May 21st, students may come to E206 to see Ms. O’Neil during 2nd hour or 4th hour to pick up pre-orders or to purchase a book.
As we distribute this year’s yearbooks, we want to take a moment to recognize the hard work and dedication of our student-led yearbook team. These students have invested countless hours designing, editing, and organizing the content to create a special keepsake that captures the spirit of our school year.
We kindly ask for your support in encouraging kindness and understanding as these students share the final product. Like any creative endeavor, the yearbook is a labor of love—not perfection—and a valuable learning experience for all involved.
Thank you for celebrating their efforts with us and for helping to foster a positive and respectful environment for our young creators.

Items To Review
Parents,
Students need your support to be successful. The best way you can do that is to regularly check in with them, communicate daily about challenges and celebrations at school, and to monitor their grades on a regular basis. ALL parents/guardians have access to ParentVue to monitor grades, view documents, communicate with teachers, and more. Teachers report challenges as best they can but the access to information about your student's academics is as close as your phone or computer 24/7.
If you need assistance please call the main office at 989-358-5200

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 have been 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 the Restorative Center (School Success) if you need help resolving an issue. Peer mediators don't take sides or place blame on anyone!
