AHS Parents,

This week our cheerleaders compete in the AHSAA State Finals on Tuesday @ 3:12 p.m. in Birmingham. Good Luck Bears!! Take state!!

Also, our wrestling team begins their season on Tuesday, our E-Sports teams start the AHSAA playoffs and our basketball teams play @ Decatur on Friday!! Go Bears!

Junior parents, on Wednesday, Nov. 20, AHS will be administering a practice ACT Assessment #2 to all Juniors. This assessment is NOT FOR A GRADE, but the data gleaned will help determine students' areas of improvement. We will then use the data to provide targeted instruction for our students. Students will be given their testing room assignments by Tuesday. Students who have 1st Block CAD or 1st Block Co-op will need to report to AHS by 8:20 a.m.

Sophomores and Seniors will follow their normal schedule.

If you have a question or a concern, please feel free to email me at demond.garth@dcs.edu. #BestIsTheStandard!

Have a great day!

Garth
