FROM THE DESK OF: Adam Kurth, Principal

Happy June! It is cliche--but we are always shocked at how quickly the years go.

June brings a well-earned and necessary summer break for both students and staff. The last few days and weeks have been full of great year-end events. Often bittersweet for the parents of our seniors. We are all happy and proud for our students who were celebrated this past weekend at graduation, but those feelings are often mixed as we reflect on how their first day of kindergarten seems like yesterday.

Part of the end of our year is the celebration of our graduates. In its second year at AHS, the AHS Grad Walk took place last Friday and created all range of positives emotions for our students and staff. Please consider taking a look at the Grad Walk Video or Grad Walk Photos to see the incredible experience our students shared with the feeder schools. Thank you to Swallow, Stone Bank, Merton, Richmond, and Hartland Lakeside for welcoming our students back to the halls that helped mold them into the students they are today!

As we celebrate the end of the year and graduation, we also want to recognize our arts, activities, and athletic teams. Many of our athletes are competing for the final time or representing our school in state competitions. Many clubs and activities meeting for the last time and reflecting on the impact they've had on the school. Our students in the arts are creating their last projects or performed for the last time on our stage. We wish the best of luck to all still creating and/or competing!

Academically, our initial data from the state is showing another year of growth in outcomes. The students and staff are seeing their efforts come to fruition. There is a direct impact on our students futures as greater outcomes create greater opportunities for college admission, scholarships, and other post-secondary possibilities.

Happy end of the 2025-2026 school year. We can all take pride in all that the students, staff, and community have accomplished.

Adam Kurth, Principal

Student Schedules 2026-2027

We apologize for the delay. With staffing changes and some adjustments to our process to more accurately schedule our students, our finalized schedule was delayed this year. Students will be able to view their schedules on June 17th in Skyward.

Schedule changes will not be made throughout the summer as counselors do not have summer hours to accommodate each student request. Students have two options to make schedule changes:

Students can come to walk-in summer counselor office hours in the North Campus Commons on:
- Thursday, August 27th - 12 PM - 3 PM
- Friday, August 28th - 7 AM - 10 AM
- Monday, August 31st - 9 AM - 12 PM
Students can also make an appointment with their counselor during the first week of school to make a schedule adjustment. Links to make these appointments will be sent to families closer to the start of the school year.

The only exception is if students wish to ADD any of the following courses which contain summer work, please email our Director of Students Services Adam Boldt at boldt@arrowheadschools.org.

AP Literature

AP Language

HONORS English 9

HONORS English 10

AP Biology

AP US History

AP Computer Science

AP Chemistry

*** Please remember - we do NOT make any changes based on preference of hour of the class, preference of teacher, or preference of lunch hour.

COUNSELOR CHANGES

Due to declining enrollment, our counseling office will decrease from six counselors to five. Starting in the 2026-27 school year, we are also moving to a new service model where counselors will stay with their students throughout their entire high school career. We look forward to the benefits that will come from having the same counselor for all four years!

During the transition to a smaller department and the new approach, some students will retain their counselor from last year while others will switch. Our counseling team will collaborate closely through this transition to ensure that all counselors are up to speed and ready to assist students with their post-secondary aspirations.

Under the new model, counselors will split their time between the two campuses. Below is a breakdown of which counselors will be working with students based on the students’ last name.

Mr. Stuber- A-Di

Mrs. Matthias- Dj-Ho

Mr. Reineking- Hp-Mi

Mrs. Whyte- Mj-Sc

Update on Parent Contact Information Release to Public

The Arrowhead Union High School District has recently seen an increase in the number of public records requests for parents' home address, parents' personal email address, and parents' personal home phone numbers. Please be advised that under the Wisconsin Public Records Law, the district is required to provide lists of parent home addresses, parent email addresses and/or parent phone numbers when requested by any member of the public (unless the parent/guardian is participating in Wisconsin’s Safe at Home program). Please note that district communications will be on district letterhead, from a district staff member, or otherwise clearly identified as official information from the Arrowhead Union High School District.

Level Up Your Summer with Academic & Career Exploration!

While summer is often associated with sleeping in, vacations, and time with friends, it can also be one of the best times to invest in your future. Without the busy pace of the school year, students have a unique opportunity to explore careers, visit colleges, gain work experience, and take meaningful steps toward postsecondary goals.

Freshman & Sophomore students: Summer is a great time to explore careers and interests. Consider the following activities:

Explore careers and colleges in Xello
Sharpen your test taking skills! Continue to practice with our free built-in test prep program in Xello, called Methodize!
Talk with professionals about their education and career pathways.
Request a job shadow in a career field that interests you (some areas have age restrictions).
Visit local businesses or organizations to learn about different industries.

Junior & Senior Students: Summer is the perfect time to begin turning your plans into action. Consider the following resources and activities:

Visit colleges and learn more about programs, majors, and campus life.
Asking teachers for letters of recommendation now gives them plenty of notice and flexibility ahead of the start of a new school year.
Sharpen your test taking skills! Continue to practice with our free built-in test prep program in Xello, called Methodize!
Explore work-based learning opportunities. Students can earn credit through the Youth Apprenticeship Program in areas such as manufacturing, transportation, business, banking, marketing, nursing assistant, and pharmacy technician. This is a year-long program (including the summer).
Review the Senior Year Reference Guide & Checklist and get a head start on items that can be completed before the school year begins—especially for students considering a four-year college!

If you would like assistance, contact Brenda King, College and Career Coordinator at king@arrowheadschools.org

While summer should absolutely include time for fun, relaxation, and making memories with family and friends, it can also be a valuable time to invest in your future. Whether you're working to Know, Explore, Plan, or Go, a few intentional steps this summer can help make your goals clearer and your next steps easier when fall arrives.

ARROWHEAD HIGH SCHOOL

SCHOOL BOARD

Hello Arrowhead Community!

As we celebrate the graduation of 509 students this week, we do so with immense pride. These students leave Arrowhead High School academically prepared and equipped with the character, skills and experiences necessary to succeed in the next phase of their lives. Their accomplishments - in the classroom, on the athletic field, through leadership opportunities, and in service to others - reflect years of dedication by students, families, educators and the broader community.

Their success also invites an important question: What is the relationship between a school and the community it serves?

At its best, public education is a partnership. Schools are entrusted with preparing the next generation, and communities invest in that mission because they understand that strong schools produce informed citizens, skilled workers, engaged leaders and thriving communities. The success of our graduates is not simply a school accomplishment; it is a community accomplishment.

Today, we can point to the outcomes. We celebrate Arrowhead students who leave our high school ready for college, careers, military service, and meaningful lives of contribution. Yet sustaining that success requires more than pride in past achievements. It requires a continued commitment to the future.

Like many school districts, AHS faces significant challenges ahead: budget pressures, aging facilities, and the need for long-term investments that will ensure future generations have the same opportunities our graduates have enjoyed. These are not merely school concerns - they are community concerns.

As we applaud the accomplishments of our graduates, we are also called to consider what kind of educational experience we want for those who will follow them. If we value excellence, opportunity, and preparation for the future, then we must also be willing to invest in the schools that make these outcomes possible.

The graduates crossing the Arrowhead stage on June 6 are evidence of what a strong school district can achieve. The question before us is whether we, as a community, will make the investments necessary to ensure that future generations have the same opportunity to succeed.

CONGRATULATIONS, CLASS OF 2026!

Kim Schubert

School Board President

MULLETT ICE CENTER NEWS!

Don Mullett Free Hockey Gear Program: With donations from Don Mullett's celebration of life, Craig Petersen started a Free Hockey Gear Program for new hockey players in the Arrowhead School District. There are at 25 total participants, one year into the program! See flyer below for more information.

Alumni Wall: We have a close friend of the Mullett Family putting together a Hockey Alumni Wall here at The Mullett. We have identified about 25 D1/D3 hockey players that skated at for Arrowhead in high school. We do have an anonymous donor that is covering the cost. Competitive Awards in North Lake will be producing and installing the photo plaques after we finalize them. We are excited to see this come to fruition!

New Sheet of Ice: The Mullett Center now has a new sheet of ice ready to use!

Spring Intramurals: We only had one team sign up for Ice Bocce, so we had to cancel that, but all the PE classes really enjoyed it so we are considering trying to do a Fall program. We did get 5 teams for Ice Hockey, the most amount of players we have ever had. A couple photos attached.

Other Program Highlights:

We had large numbers for our Fall, Winter and Spring Learn to Skate and Learn to Play Hockey sessions!
Craig Peterson started a new Developmental Adult Hockey program this spring that filled up. We are going to try to expand it to two days for a summer session. Including the Winter MHL (Mullett Hockey League), we are at 240 skaters this season. These players make up 13 winter teams and 2 spring teams. We are hoping for 10 teams over 2 divisions for the Summer MHL season.
Our Parent/Tots free skating sessions have been big as well. We hit a record number of 57 participants at one of our February sessions!
We also had a solid Public Skate season with 199 paid admission for one of our sessions in January!
Youth Hockey (AYHA) had the biggest numbers of participants in 13 years (since I have been tracking it). They were just under 200 skaters. We hosted the Wisconsin Amateur Hockey Association's Bantam 1B state tournament in March. Teams from around the state were able to experience The Mullett.

HOST A FAMILY FROM SPAIN OR FRANCE THIS SUMMER!

Language & Friendship (a student travel company based out of Minnesota) is currently looking for host families to host students from Spain and France for approximately 3 weeks this summer. This kind of program is a great way to meet a new friend, brush up on your language skills and create amazing memories this summer. Arrowhead has offered this experience to families for many years and families have had great experiences. Some students and families have even gone to France and Spain and stayed with their host student because they built a strong friendship with the student. I have been lucky enough to have hosted many people throughout my life and I remain in very close contact with all of them still today.

Below is basic information about the two groups visiting our area this summer:

The French students will be here from June 13 - July 6, 2026- from a school near Lyon, France. For more information about the French students and their stay here in Wisconsin check out the LF hosting page tinyurl.com/HostORD2026 or this flyer. French student biographies

The Spanish students will be here from June 27 - July 14, 2026- from Alicante, Spain. For more information about the Spanish students and their stay here in Wisconsin check out the LF hosting page tinyurl.com/HostMKE2026 or this flyer. The Spanish student biographies will be coming soon.

If this sounds like an experience that you and your family would be interested in, please register on the Language and Friendship Website (links above!)

Please consider reading the long, but informative piece below from Dan Rossmiller, Executive Director of the Wisconsin Association of School Boards. This shares insights into school funding and why most families saw a tax increase this year.

Wisconsin's property tax "sticker shock"

Published January 9, 2026

What is going on with property taxes?

By Dan Rossmiller, Executive Director of the Wisconsin Association of School Boards

If you are like me, you may have received a bit of “sticker shock” when you received your property tax bill this year. Why did property taxes increase so much? The answer is not a simple one, as many factors produced the number on your bill. Maybe your first instinct was to blame your school district, but did you know that most of these factors are outside of the authority of your local school board?

Decisions made at the state level

1. No general state school aid increase

School district spending is controlled by state-imposed revenue limits. Schools collect revenue through a mix of general state aid and property taxes, but they must stay within these limits. A school district can only exceed its state-imposed revenue limit if voters pass a referendum approving additional spending. Since the 2023-24 school year, revenue limits have increased each year by $325 per student. While initially agreed upon by Gov. Tony Evers and the state Legislature for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 school years, it was extended to this school year (and the next 400) as a result of a controversial line-item veto by Gov. Evers that was later upheld by the state Supreme Court. For context, it is relevant to note that this annual increase is less than the rate of inflation. Ordinarily, the state provides additional school aid when it adjusts revenue limits upward. It does so to hold property taxes down. If a school district doesn’t get enough additional state aid to meet its revenue limit adjustment, local property taxes cover the difference. That is one reason property taxes increased. The 2025-27 state budget passed by the Legislature and signed by Gov. Evers included no general school aid increase, unlike the previous two years. This means the entire cost of this year’s $325 per student revenue limit increase was shifted to property taxpayers. There was no new state money to narrow the gap. In fact, 71% of school districts actually saw their state general aid go down this year. Some of this is the result of changes in property values as well as the passage of local referenda in many districts. Nevertheless, the lack of an increase in state general aid no doubt played a major role in such a high number of districts losing aid relative to last year. In short, the state allowed districts to raise and spend more revenue but didn’t fund that increase. As a result, that spending showed up directly on local property tax bills this year. State policymakers were aware of the consequences (higher property taxes) of this decision but approved the budget in a bipartisan manner anyways. The political parties now point their fingers at each other, and schools are forced to deal with the fallout.

2. Almost two decades of lagging inflation

You may have heard about a “historic” increase in special education aid—the largest in decades (but still reimbursing about 20% less than in the 1980s). However, it comes alongside 17 straight years of revenue limit adjustments that failed to keep up with inflation. Revenue limits have not even covered the cost of maintaining existing services, and the latest budget shifts a heavier burden onto already-stretched property taxpayers. As a result, while a welcome investment, this “historic” moment is muted at best. In part, that is because special education funding has no direct impact on property taxes. It is paid to districts outside the revenue limit as a reimbursement for special education expenses incurred in the previous school year. It is also because, in recent weeks, we have learned that the percentage of special education costs reimbursed by the aid increase will be several points lower than was assumed when the budget was passed. This means school districts must continue to transfer money from their general budgets, which are covered by the revenue limit, to pay for unreimbursed special education costs, which are not. Just as your costs go up as a private citizen, schools are not immune to these realities. Even without adding new programs, districts are facing significant cost increases for staff salaries, insurance, utilities, transportation and more.

3. School referenda at record highs

The only way for a school board to raise additional revenue above its state-determined revenue limit (to meet challenges such as inflation) is to go to a referendum where their local taxpayers vote whether to increase their own school property taxes. The number of districts going to referendum and the amounts approved by voters have increased substantially in the past decade. This is not a coincidence. It is another symptom of the state not providing revenue increases that match the rising costs of goods and services, and districts having to go to their voters for additional resources. Some might ask: If there are fewer kids in the state, why are schools seeking more money through referendums? While it’s true most schools are seeing declining enrollment, this “loss” of students happens gradually, with a few students leaving one year and a couple more the next. It takes several years of declining student populations before cost-saving measures, such as cutting staff or consolidating school buildings, can be implemented. During that time, the rising costs mentioned above have not decreased.

4. A declining share of state revenues allocated to schools

According to annual fiscal reports from the Wisconsin Department of Administration, the share of state budget revenue going to schools in 2003 was 43.1%. By 2023, that share had fallen to 36.6%. Similarly, Wisconsin Policy Forum reports have found comparable declines in per-pupil school spending compared to other states and as a percentage of income.

5. Private school vouchers

It should also be noted that growth in private school vouchers—publicly funded private school enrollment—also contributed to the property tax increase on bills statewide. The state funds payments to private schools participating in the statewide and Racine voucher programs by deducting state aid from the districts in which those voucher pupils reside. Those districts are then allowed to increase their property taxes by an amount not exceeding the state aid withheld from them. In part, because the state budget raised the amount paid per student voucher, the impact of these voucher programs on property taxes grew by 15% this year, adding nearly $47 million to statewide property taxes.

6. Property value assessments

It’s a common misconception that higher property taxes always mean schools are spending more. Individual tax bills depend heavily on local property assessments. Shifts in your assessment and/or that of the municipality in which your property is located may not reflect what is happening in the local school district. The mix of local assessments, state aid and the allowable levy determine individual tax bills—not school spending alone. While state decisions are contributing to increasing property taxes for the average taxpayer, a specific taxpayer’s school share of local property taxes may increase, or not, regardless of a school board’s decisions on utilizing the $325 per pupil increase or even passing operating referenda. Ultimately, the school portion of your property tax bill is determined by a balance of several factors that are largely outside the control of your local school board. School spending is only one part of this equation and is not always the primary driver of tax changes. Please keep these factors in mind when reviewing your property tax bill.

Additional information from WASBO

Myth vs. Fact: School Funding and Property Taxes

Myth: School districts raised property taxes because they chose to spend more than inflation.

Fact: School districts can only raise revenue within state-imposed revenue limits. To spend more than those limits requires voter approval via operating referendum. The state authorized a per-pupil revenue-limit increase that was less than inflation but did not provide the state aid necessary to fund it, shifting costs to property taxpayers.

Myth: Schools received “record funding” in the state budget.

Fact: While the budget included increases, those increases did not keep pace with inflation or rising fixed costs, and key components, like special education aid, remain underfunded due to sum-certain appropriations.

Myth: Referenda are a sign of poor local fiscal management.

Fact: Referenda are often the only remaining tool districts have to address structural gaps created when state funding does not keep pace with mandated costs and authorized spending authority. When schools are only allowed spending increases that fall below the amount necessary to keep pace with inflation, they must either cut programs and services for students or seek referendum approval. Oftentimes, they resort to both.

Myth: Property tax increases would have happened regardless of state action.

Fact: Historically, when the state matched revenue limit increases with increased general school aid, property tax impacts were significantly reduced. On a statewide basis, property tax increases were held in check. The 2025–27 budget broke from that precedent.

Myth: This is a local problem.

Fact: This is a statewide policy decision with statewide consequences. Districts across Wisconsin—urban, suburban, and rural—are experiencing the same pressures because the revenue limits apply uniformly and the school aid formula applies to all school districts. Almost three quarters of Wisconsin’s school districts will receive less general aid than they did in the prior year. And the number of districts that lost so much aid they qualified for stop-gap hold harmless funding went up by nearly 30% compared to the previous year.

VAPE SENSORS INSTALLED
IN ALL RESTROOMS AND LOCKER ROOMS!

As a reminder to parents/guardians and students, both North and South campus bathrooms (multi-stall and single-stall) and locker rooms are equipped with sensors to detect when vaping is taking place as well as when the device is being tampered with. When a sensor is triggered, administration is notified and will check the camera system to see which student(s) entered and exited at the time of the detection. Students are then brought to the office for a conversation on what happened and a search of their belongings is conducted. Parents are notified when this takes place with their student. If a vape device(s) is found, the student will be suspended in school for the remainder of that day and out of school for the following day. A citation can be written and/or the student can be referred to attend a class held at AHS conducted by Mrs. Whyte, School Counselor & AODA Coordinator and School Resource Officer Deputy Dunker. If applicable, the student would also be referred to the Activities Department. With each violation, the outcome would progress.

Vaping on school grounds is not only illegal, but it's a violation of School Board Policy 5530 - Student Use or Possession of Intoxicants, Drugs, or Paraphernalia. Vaping on school ground is also illegal for adults.

We ask that you speak with your child(ren) about the dangers of vaping and how it can negatively affect their health, well-being as well as their experience at AHS.

PERSONAL COMMUNICATION DEVICES UPDATE

We want to first highlight the great work students and staff have done in the first quarter this school year with the cell phone expectations!

As the second quarter begins, we want to send a reminder of our expectations on personal communication devices (PCD) per School Board Policy 5136 - Personal Communication Devices.

Any PCDs including, but not limited to, cell phones, earbuds, and smart watches, should be stowed in backpacks/lockers or the teacher’s cell phone pockets during academic time. Additionally, artificial intelligence (AI) glasses, such as Meta AI glasses, are not permitted. See School Board Policy 5505 – Academic Honesty for information on Use of Artificial Intelligence/Natural Language Processing Tools For School Work.

We have also emailed the same message to all AHS students.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation with this.

Arrowhead Excelling

in Four Key Academic Measures

Arrowhead Student Achievement Press Release

SECURING LOCKER ROOM BELONGINGS

Below is an email that was sent to all students from Administration and the School Resource Officers on Friday, November 7th regarding locker room thefts. We are sharing this email with you as parents/guardians so you can help reinforce this message and keep the belongings of ours students safe and secure:

Good Afternoon AHS Students,

This is a friendly reminder to use your locker and ensure it is properly secured at all times. Lockers are provided to help you keep your personal items safe during and after the school day.

If you are using the lockers in the locker room, please make sure to place a lock on your locker and secure it. Simply placing your items inside without locking the door defeats the purpose of having a locker and leaves your belongings vulnerable.

Please do not leave your belongings unattended / laying around or unlocked. Even small items like phones, wallets, and earbuds can easily go missing if not secured. Taking a few seconds to lock your locker can prevent unnecessary loss or inconvenience.

If you need assistance with your locker or have any issues with a lock, please stop by the office.

Thank you for taking responsibility for your belongings and helping keep our school a safe and respectful environment for everyone.

OPEN ENROLLMENT ATTENDANCE

If you are attending AHS through Open Enrollment, we want to congratulate you on your acceptance!

In addition to the information you already received when approved, we want to be sure you fully understand the attendance responsibility of your child(ren) by enrolling in Arrowhead High School through open enrollment.

Wis. § 118.51(11) states if an open enrolled student is habitually truant from the nonresident school district during either semester in the current school year, the student may be prohibited from attending the nonresident school district in the succeeding semester or school year. Therefore, your child(ren)’s open enrollment status can be terminated in January or June if they are considered habitually truant within that semester respectively. Before this would take place, you will be notified by the school if your child(ren) continues to be absent.

According to Wis. 118.15(3)(c), a child may not be excused for more than ten (10) days in a school year, regardless of parent permission. We have the following progressive steps in place to help keep you informed:

Letter sent when absent at approximately 5 days
Letter sent when absent at approximately 10 days
Meeting with School Resource Officer at approximately 15 days
Truancy citation issued when absent ≥ 18 days
Open Enrollment status terminated when absent ≥ 20 days

Each missed class period at Arrowhead is counted when determining the number of days absent. Five (5) missed periods (including Resource period) is equivalent to one full day. Late arrival to class may also count toward their total day absences depending on the severity.

While any/all absences excused and/or unexcused are counted, attendance absences due to exemptions or school events will not be counted against your child(ren)’s attendance record.

An exemption can be issued when you provide the attendance office with formal documentation from a professional such as a doctor, dentist, therapist, etc. It is best to share this documentation as the absence occurs, but a final deadline of January 15th or June 1st is in place before open enrollment status is terminated. If your child(ren) is absent 20 or more days as of January 15th or June 1st, their open enrollment status will be terminated. You will be informed of this status change from both the Associate Principal and the District Office.

SKYWARD APP FOR PARENTS ATTENDANCE USE

Skyward App for Attendance/Absence Procedures for Parents

In an effort to create an easier and more efficient process for families to enter absences, AHS will be using the Parent Access to Skyward via the app for submitting student attendance. We still accept phone messages but it is our hope that the Skyward App becomes the main method of absence notification.

ePass

The following information was sent as a Parent Skylert email in September. We're just sharing the information again to keep families informed!

Arrowhead High School recently implemented an electronic hall pass system (EDLASTICS - ElasticPass, also known as “ePass”). This system is designed to strengthen student safety, reduce classroom disruptions, and ensure accountability. A recent, inaccurate and intentionally devoid of facts news article by TMJ4 news has created an unnecessary storm of questions and concerns regarding the new system and, we want to provide context and accurate information to our community and families.

It is important to note that hall pass systems, whether paper or digital, are not matters of “policy.” The School Board governs at the policy level, while daily operational decisions are made by teachers and administrators. Just as staff determined that the paper-pass system was sufficient for decades, it was again a team of teachers and administrators who determined that the ePass system would be beneficial.

The decision came after identifying a clear concern: too many students were in the hallways during class and outside of the capacity of our teachers and administration to monitor and ensure a safe and appropriate facility. This contributed to vaping in bathrooms, vandalism, bullying and harassment, meeting up with friends, and other unsafe behaviors. Traditional paper passes cannot provide accurate information and data on where students are when they are not in class. Accurate information is critical for safety, learning, and liability reasons. If knowing when students are in class is important enough to dedicate staff to supervise and manage attendance, it is even more important to know where students are when they are not in class.

Every student in a classroom has a supervising teacher. Students in the hallways are unsupervised, and unsupervised students pose safety and liability concerns. Nothing good comes from students being unsupervised in hallways. The ePass system helps prevent unsafe behavior, and it is working. Another major benefit is that, in an emergency, administrators can determine where students are quickly and accurately. Paper passes cannot do that.

The system is not unusual. It has been implemented successfully in many schools across the country, including a number in Wisconsin and in our area. The limits in place were identified as the average among schools already using this system, are reasonable to accommodate students’ needs, and do not impact the significant majority of our students.

Some concerns have been raised about student restroom access. To be clear, Arrowhead students have more opportunities than most to use the facilities without needing a pass. Students also remain fully accommodated in cases of health needs or emergencies.

Facts About Student Access:

Students have 8 minute passing periods allowing for ample time to use the restrooms. Most schools have passing times of 4-5 minutes. The 8 minutes has proven to be sufficient for students to use the facilities and get to class. Again, compared to just about every other area school, Arrowhead provides TWICE the amount of time between classes to use the facilities and the vast majority of students have no problem going to the bathroom between classes.
All students can use the restrooms during study hall time and it does not count against their pass limit.
Students can use the restrooms at lunch without a pass.
Any student with Phy Ed classes can use the restrooms at the beginning and end of class.
All staff can override the limits as appropriate, especially for any extenuating situations or emergencies.
Students with specific health needs were already, and are absolutely accommodated.
The longest a student would ever have to go without access to a restroom is 85 minutes. They have passes available during instructional time to accommodate those needs.
If students need more passes, they are not denied access to the restrooms; we work with the student and families to determine how to best move forward.
To this point in our school year, we have had zero issues of discipline in the halls and/or bathrooms which is a significant improvement from past years with over a dozen documented issues at this time last year.
The vast majority of students are not impacted by the new pass system. They always have used the facilities during the opportunities described above and will continue to do so.

Arrowhead’s teachers and administrators are in the buildings daily, working with nearly 1,800+ students. Our obligation is two-fold: to keep students as safe as possible and to ensure they are learning in rigorous, supportive environments. The ePass system helps us achieve both goals in a cost-effective way.

Preventing poor decisions and risky situations is always better than reacting after harm occurs. A system that minimally impacts most students, but improves supervision, reduces classroom interruptions, and provides useful data, is a common-sense approach. Importantly, students with legitimate needs continue to be accommodated, just as they always have been.

We know parents and community members care deeply about students—we do too. We want what is best for them, and everything we do is designed to make sure they are safe and receiving the best possible education. We treat our students as if they were our own children.

The ePass system is one tool among many that helps Arrowhead deliver on that responsibility. By reducing unsupervised time, ensuring safety in emergencies, and keeping classrooms focused on learning, the system benefits the entire school community.

RESOURCE PERIOD ATTENDANCE & TARDINESS

Attending Resource Period

Resource period was new to students and staff last school year. As a reminder, students begin their school day in Resource each morning (zero hour / 7:20-7:50 AM). Throughout last school year, teachers and administration stressed the importance of attending the new period and attending on time. With the start of the 2025-26 school year, we want to again express the importance of attending Resource period and what the outcomes will be of repeated absence and/or tardiness to school. Student tardies and absences from Resource Period do count against their attendance expectations.

Firstly, it’s important for students to check eClass each morning to ensure they’re in the correct Resource location. If students are requested to attend a classroom by a teacher and they don't attend, they are marked absent. In addition, students should be signing up for a location if a teacher hasn't requested them. If they don't sign up, students are automatically placed and must go to that location for attendance purposes, regardless of assignment. Lastly, students can sign up for their Resource weeks in advance on eClass both to take ownership of their education and avoid being randomly placed.

Absences from Resource Period

Absences from Resource period are recorded in Skyward attendance and will count towards truancy. In addition to the measures taken when a student reaches the level of truant, students will be assigned office referrals with consequences for missing Resource period. A referral will be submitted when four (4) Resource periods are missed and the student will be assigned a Saturday detention. Continued absences can also lead to conduct unbecoming of an athlete if a student is in a sport or club.

Tardiness to Resource Period

School begins every day at 7:20 AM. Thus, tardiness to Resource period is also recorded in Skyward Attendance. Repeated tardiness to Resource period will result in an office referral being submitted. A referral will be submitted when four (4) or more Resource periods are marked as tardy and the student will be assigned an after school detention. When the student reaches eight (8) tardies to Resource periods, another office referral will be submitted and the student will be assigned a Saturday detention. Continued tardiness can also lead to conduct unbecoming of an athlete if a student is in a sport or club.
REMINDER: You can always check your child's attendance in Skyward so you are up to date to their absences and tardies.
If you have any questions, you can contact the North Campus or South Campus attendance offices.

MORNING DROP-OFF!

Welcome to one of the ongoing challenges of AHS. Last year's adjustments and structures created the most efficient morning traffic flow we've had in years. If all families can support the image below, it makes for the safest and quickest drop-off experience for everyone!

Please only drop off in the green identified areas
Have students walk to the furthest north crosswalk identified in yellow on the map.
Pull all the way forward. Pulling forward allows multiple cars to drop-off and clear out at the same time. Please do not stop short or by the X's on the image as that creates unnecessary backups!
Ensure your student is ready to exit your car when you stop. Keep backpacks
The blue lines should be passthrough only lines watching for students crossing. These are not drop-off locations.

Finally, please proceed cautiously at all times! We have hundreds of students crossing our drives. Please help us in keeping our students safe!

AHS FUNDRAISING

AHS Programs Financial Support

School funding is always a challenging world to navigate. Each year, schools see a set of opportunities with costs associated with them that are unable to be funded by the current state funding and the AHS budget. We often have families with the means to support such opportunities who have expressed that there isn't an avenue to be made aware or to donate directly to a need. Each newsletter, we will list opportunities for our community to consider supporting. There is never an expectation, only an appreciation for considering.

Current Considerations

Arrowhead Scholarship Fund - This amazing program provides an incredible amount of scholarships each year thanks to the generosity of our community. Families and companies have the ability to provide direction as to how their scholarship would be decided and awarded. Please see the ASF Donor Webpage for more information!

AHS Tennis Courts Fundraiser Please consider supporting our tennis efforts to update and upgrade our AHS tennis courts!
